She thought that every thing she did was said and done
And no one step she took could change her day
She didn't see the reason to keep going on
When nothing even ever went her way
She woke up to the rising sun each Sunday morning
And walked right by the church without a glance
She never thought that she'd amount to nothing
She never thought she'd be without romance
This is not your normal
Fairy tale
There is no knight to save her
From the dragon in her heart
There is no prince to come and
Sweep her off of her feet
There's nothing but a shadow
To hide a lonely heart
She has a job but doesn't make much money
Just enough to keep herself alive
But sometimes when she sits alone at night
She wonders why she really even tries
Because this is not your normal
Fairy tale
There is no knight to save her
From the dragon in her heart
There is no prince to come and
Sweep her off of her feet
There's nothing but a shadow
To hide a lonely heart
Tonight when she got home to an empty house
She went upstairs to take a bath
She came upon a bible underneath her bed
And started to read about God's wrath
The tears began to flow on out
She began to scream and shout
She never could believe these lies
She never wanted to be alive
This is not your normal fairy tale
There is no knight to save her
To slay the dragon in her heart
There is no prince who will come
To sweep her off of her feet
There's nothing but a shadow
To hide her lonely heart
The days have come and the days have go
And nothing's really changed in her life
She still works for a crummy job
With still no pay
But she doesn't care it's just good to be alive
This is not your normal fairy tale
There is no sparkle or glamour
To brighten up her day
All she wants is to live her life
The best she can
And though there's no one to love her
She'll love life 'til the day she dies
