"Fairytale"

Her eyes are glued to the pages
She lives in a world of lines and phrases
In a place where all her dreams are true
It's not reality, but it'll have to do

'Cause outside she's cried
Felt the pain of being lied to
Can't decide who she really is
Though she's tried to

[chorus]
Love is not a fairytale
It's a real life story
That you've been written in
You're living in it
Don't give up hope
When the tears start pouring
Don't put up your walls
There's a happy ending to it all

Her life's been torn into pieces
They bend and break her, folding the creases
Is there any other choice to make
But to leave it all and run away

To a place where she can get what she deserves
A place where she can love and not get hurt
A safe haven for all that she's craving
It's not a fantasy
Just not right now, you see

[chorus]
Love is not a fairytale
It's a real life story
That you've been written in
You're living in it
Don't give up hope
When the tears start pouring
Don't put up your walls
There's a happy ending to it all

You're alive and breathing
Can you feel your own heart beating
Stay right here
It won't always be so clear
Out in the light of day
But please don't hide away
You won't find anything there anyway

[chorus]
Your life is not a fairytale
It's a real life story
That you've been written in
You're living in it
Don't lose hope
When the tears start pouring
Don't put up your walls
There's a happy ending to it all
