Fairytale Lies

It was always too good to be true 
Fairytale love only exists on TV
I was a wrong to think I've found my princess 
What a joke thinking like a kid
A slap to the face was all she was to me

I built a high wall so no one could climb
But such is the case with sandcastles 
They crumble easily as well as my heart
I am young and foolish always making bad decisions.
Tears in my hearts don't know what to say

Unprepared for this dark Storm 
I got cold feet from the first kiss
Slayed the dragon from the first thrust
But my victory was a mere formality to her
Deep down I know it never was
She wasn't ready to be rescued 

Inked her name on my heart 
Maybe I'm truly unlovable
I guess she's my Delilah who got all
And now I'm weak and helpless in the streets 
Maybe I'm just unlucky to find love. 
THIS FAIRYTALE IS FULL OF .
