Life's Not a Fairy Tale

I am but a peasant in a sea of Kings and Queens The fairest of them all, and the strongest of them all Pure on the outside, but what about in Would you dare appoint a King just because HE wants to win Whould you dare hang out with a Queen who could later call you a has been This isn't a fairytale The fairest see me and turn The strongest see me and turn Other peasants see me and cheer When the fairest become fairer In front of the bathroom mirror I enter and they leave I look in the mirror and say "Mirror, mirror onthe wall," But before I finish, she stops me and says "You're not the fairest of them all." Life's not a fairytale I see my prince in the distance Though I know he would leave me for a princess in an instant My fall out of my hands and what happens now No one helps me, because they don't know how But a Queen drops her book and I help her out then She smiles and says thank you like I was her friend I go to the mirror on the bathroom wall But before I ask who's the fairest of them all She says "Life's not a fairytale, and your looks don't matter It wouldn't be Wonderland without someone madder than a Hatter But your heart is pure and your motives are wise When you help someone out you get a gleam in your eyes." Okay. So, maybe life can be a fairytale.
