We were based on a fairytale, centered around you and me.
Where everything was perfect; we were happy as can be.
We were based on a fairytale, with "Happily Ever After." written in.
Smug as we were, our love wasn't from within.
We were based on a fairytale; me the princess, you the prince-
We were both pretending that we never had been sad since.
But being based on a fairytale is really hard to do-
Living the lie with each "I Love You."
We knew it was wrong, but we wanted it right.
Walking around, masquerading in plain sight;
Our pained on smiles were getting dried out.
We both knew some knew what we were about.
Hidden behind each dolled up expression,
Were definite signs of our exasperation.
We were based on a fairytale that could never work.
This "love" was like a stab in the heart with a dirk.
So as I break away from the worn out and frail
Looking back, we weren't Based On A Fairytale
