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!
