Fairytales must be for other girls

Fairytales must be for other girls

She was saving herself

For the boy of her dreams

But now her soft cries for help

Are turning into screams

And the innocence lost

Is a statistic on the sheet

And the boy she thought she loved

Is taking everything

And he said

Fairytales are for another world

And she said

Fairytales must be for other girls

And the dragon’s just a metaphor for fate

And prince charming almost never saves the day

She’ll pass him in the hall

And he’ll catch her by the sleeve

And he’ll tell her not to tell

Or he’ll tell them she agreed

And she’ll nod her head in shame

And he’ll say he’ll call tonight

He says she’s got herself to blame

But she knows he isn’t right

And a voice says

Fairytales are for another world

And she cries

Fairytales must be for other girls

And she’ll let him take her on another date

But tonight she will just give herself away

She’ll give her dreams away

Cause they told her

Fairytales are for another world

And they say

Fairytales are just for perfect girls

And the dragon’s just a metaphor for fate

And that love must have always been that way
