I read all the books
And I watched all the movies.
They taught me to dream,
And they told me to believe.
I thought it was real
I didn't think they could lie.
If broken girls could find their love,
Then I should too.
I grew up hoping,
with my head up in the clouds.
Dreaming of that person
To make those movies real.
Now that I'm older
I know they are lying.
I'm not in a book,
or a character in a movie.
They taught me to dream,
and they told me to believe,
But they didn't tell me what to do
when all that hope gets lost.
