Chasing Fairy Tales

Remove my heart Take away the pain I’m torn apart And going insane I can’t do this any more My heart is broken To its core I can’t take this anymore! Staring at the stars In this midnight sky Wondering if Tonight I were to die Would anyone even Ask why Cause this journey is so long and damned Makes me question who I am Feeling so small Locked behind these prison walls So you say You’re done Chasing fairy tales You’re done being young and naïve Hoping for a happily ever after That will only end in disaster Cause you don’t wanna be seen Dreaming of a picture perfect Memory That will only end in misery Broken and abused So empty and used Like my aching heart I’m giving love my best But it shot me in the chest So you say You’re done Chasing fairy tales You’re done being young and naïve Hoping for a happily ever after That will only end in disaster Cause you don’t wanna be seen Every step I take Is just another mistake I fall deeper and deeper Into this hell hole Within this body Is a rotting soul Inside my f****** mind My soul screams Happiness I can not find Not even in my dreams I feel like I’m not worth sh** In the midst of it I need a God And the strength to believe Again and again Since I’ve been deceived Mankind has taken its toll on me So far down I’m being dragged beneath No one hears a sound The devil has his hold on me My heart begins to pound I’m blind, and failing to see Oh, what I’d give to be young and naïve again Not dwelling on this bitter end Free from this sinking sand So you say You’re done Chasing fairy tales You’re done being young and naïve Hoping for a happily ever after That will only end in disaster Cause you don’t wanna be seen Remove my heart Take away the pain I’m torn apart And going insane I can’t do this any more My heart is broken To its core I swear to God I can’t take this anymore!
