Fairy Tales Were Wrong

When I was a little girl I was told fairy tales And I was raised to beware of the monster in a black cape I was made to believe that evil would be so ugly That you could see it as soon it was there Oh, how wrong they were Cause you're right here in front of me You look like Prince Charming But you have a dark heart You get me caught up in your twisted arts I was fooled by your big blue eyes I was drawn in by your blonde hair Why was I never warned that those with dark hearts could be so fair Cause now that you've pulled me close I can't deny my affections for you But you give me a roller coaster ride Why did I not see past your blue eyes You push and pull me all the time I should have known I should have been able to see Just how twisted you are Your looks are a lie You don't wear a black cape You don't have an ugly face As much as I try to hate that monster inside I still want you You look like Prince Charming But you have a dark heart And I was drawn in like a moth to a flame You've got me in your prison of desire I'm in chains, can't you see All I want, all I need is to be let free
