Childs-Play

Your grace abounds me, the tender love surrounds me 
I am unleashed into a realm of a mystical fairytale 

Castles and princesses 
Money and fancy dresses 
Prince charming is waiting to take my hand 
to show me all he has planned 

But its not enough 
I trade beauty for ashes 
Love for the lashes 
and attention for satisfaction 

Shes more beautiful than anything 
her hopes are higher than her dreams. 
She doesnt know, 
the beauty she holds 
She loves everyone but she feels so alone 
This beauty inside is captured by lies

Beauty? Whats beauty?
Peace? Whats peace? 
Hope? Whats hope? 

I just need someone to listen and understand so I can set myself free

I need to love
I need to breathe 
I need to live 

and feel your love
