Fairy Tale

by Amanda   Sep 6, 2003


Like a fairy tale I fell in love
So young so innocent so not knowing of
All the things you put me through
Meant absolutely nothing to you.
I sat and watched you smile, laugh, and cry
Yet you ignored me, didn’t know I was alive
Yeah we talked, we were friends
“Buddies” you said “till the very end.”

I never thought I’d love you.
But I soon found out it was true
I was head-over-heels
Head-over-heels for you
I’ve known you forever, since we were 6
But I never felt for you, not like this,
I was scared; I didn’t know what to do,
So I ran, I stopped talking to you
I never told anyone what you meant to me
I couldn’t cause I knew it wasn’t meant to be

As we got older I wasn’t so shy
I talked to you again, you were back in my life
I couldn’t loose you, you meant to much to me
Now I was happy again, as happy as could be
Still not having told anyone how much I loved you
I told my best friend she’s know what to do
She promised not to tell anyone especially you
But the next thing I know my mother knew
Then your mom and brother
And eventually you
I was mortified you weren’t supposed to know
But that’s what I get for telling a twelve year old.

7 years I liked you before some one knew
Now it’s been almost a year since I last saw you.
You confirmed all my doubts once you knew
You didn’t like me I was “too young” for you
The worse thing I did was try to change
My style, my attitude, I didn’t even talk the same
I thought if I looked and acted different you might change your mind
But no, you didn’t even try

I asked you to formal and to my surprise
You said yes I thought I would die
I got my dress, beautiful, cause only the best would do
I couldn’t wait to go, I was going with you.
One week till, the telephone rings
Your mom and my mom start talking
“ I’ll tell her, she’ll be heart broken” my mom said
She told me what your mom had said
You got arrested, hit some kid in the head
You were on house arrest for 21 days
You couldn’t go to formal, I was left in a daze,
I cried and cried I didn’t want to go
But my mom made me, she’d already spent so much dough.
I went with Daniel, not my first choice
And from that day forward I never heard your voice,

You were gone, and forgot about me
Like I said before, it wasn’t meant to be
But I haven’t forgotten your memory lives on
It eats me alive every time I hear a love song
The girl always gets the guy when the fairy tale ends
But not my fairy tale still not happy then
My fairy tale ends with a girl whose stuck
Knowing she’s out of luck,
She’d lived most her life in a lie, trying to be “his perfect girl”
But now he’s gone, no longer in her world
