You told me a tale
And I believed it
I was a princess searching for adventure
My unexpected prince, you were
Too bad I don’t believe fairytales

… You couldn’t love me if you tried
You said you did and that died
I guess you were just slaying windmills, they were never ogres
Oh all this plastic baby
It’s all just…
Fiction

Nothing better
Than story time
Right before bed before I rest my mind
Filling my head with glorious commends
I should have covered my ears and sang “La La La”

… “You’re the only girl I need by my side”
You said that and all those lies
Slick killing innocent people, there were never any bandits
Oh all this plastic baby
It’s all Just fiction

Because you couldn’t love me if you tried
You said you did and that died
It’s all just fiction
No more prince charmings this time
Knights in shining armor
Just tin men looking for hearts oh
OHH OhOH Oh
OHH Oh Oh OH

You told me a tale
And I believed it
I guess you were just killing time, killing my mind
Too bad I don’t believe in fairytales
It’s all .. Just…
Fiction.

I let myself sink low and my emotions run wild with someone who seemed ... well, to be a cliche, "the sun, the moon, and the stars". I usually don't get so caught up, but this time is different.
