A Bad Boy I Could Fix
Used to think I was the crazy one
Believing in forever-after-love and a prince
But then I began dating frogs
And one vampire
I thought the vampire would be soft inside
A bad boy I could fix
He was a terror
Showing me that his concept of love was control
I barely escaped him
But I was no longer happy with frogs either
There has to be a giant puppy dog somewhere
Who wants to like me
I dare not use the word love anymore
Believing in forever-after is gone
Believing in being rescued is gone
Believing in a prince is sheer folly
There are crazies out there
Crazier than me even
Which I dared not think possible
Until I met the Vampire
