Once upon a time
There was a girl
Who believed the lies
Her parents told
They said she was a princess
With a heart of gold
But time has passed
She's a few years older
She's just like everybody else
And her warm heart grows colder
Father stole the carriage
And Mother the crown
Her castles non-existant
tattered rags not a gown
Her glass slippers shattered
and left splinters in her feet
The mockingbird died
With a song not so sweet
Frogs are just amphibians
Magic pumpkins decay
enchanted mirrors break easily
Magics had it's day
She's finding out the truth
realities crashing down
she cries out for her prince
but she knows he's not around
This world we live in
full of hate deceit and lies
the stories we tell children
once our fairy tales have died
