Budget Fairytale
Open up to a new world
where things aren't what they seem
people aren't what they say
and all the signs lead the wrong way
welcome to this place
where the world falls at your feet
only to bring you down with it
there is no one to hold onto
its your budget fairytale
you have everything you want
but when it comes down to it
everything goes wrong for you
its your budget fairytale
you wish to take it back
but all you have now is a shard
it was because of your disregard
this town is filled with people
who you think will understand
you look for someone to be your rock
no one will be here to hold you hand
welcome to your own mind
where you shut yourself off from reality
you wish that there is a way out
you think that there has to be
welcome to your personal hell
no one cares to bid you well
you took all that people had
and cried and cried as if you were sad
begging for forgiveness
give the master his come
you tried to love him in circumstance
but once again you failed him
its your budget fairytale
you have everything you want
but when it comes down to it
everything goes wrong for you
its your budget fairytale
you wish to take it back
but all you have now is a shard
it was because of your disregard
your walls are crumbling down around you
the brick work you built so strong
to keep your friends out, those who love you
cant seem to see what's wrong
can you get out from this now you are in deep
those promises you gave to me
which ones will you keep
your world is falling apart
this is surely the end
your eyes tell you one thing
and your mind another
you were supposed to be like this
we weren't meant for each other
its your budget fairytale
you have everything you want
but when it comes down to it
everything goes wrong for you
its your budget fairytale
you wish to take it back
but all you have now is a shard
it was because of your disregard
