According to fairy tales,
A prince is supposed to come
And take me away

A prince did come
And captured my heart
But left me to stay

He held my heart prisoner
And tortured it till it died
My chest, now an empty hole

According to fairy tales,
The prince is to be charming
And brave

Charming he was
But looks are deceiving
I learned the hard way

According to fairy tales,
We're to fall in love
But 'tis not that way

For he came
And he left
And I remain
