Fairy Tale

I was told the same fairy tales
As you and I dreamed the same dreams

I was told at a young age how to act like a queen,
So much like Cinderella, I dazzled the finest of men.

So much like Sleeping Beauty, I've had the best of things.

So much like Snow White, I've been cherished for my beauty.

I was told the same Fairy Tales as you and I dreamed the same dreams.

I was told at a young age how to act like a queen,
yet the ending was not the same.
I never found my golden love,
I never found my prince.

I was told the same Fairy Tales as you and I dreamed the same dreams.

Yet, your story says "Happily ever after",
Mine says "The End".
