She had that pretty Cinderella face
and a borrowed fairytale name

she thought she was something special
and i thought she was something real

i remember pasting a smile on my face
just to see what it would look like on me

and her smile would just flow out of her eyes
and drown anyone who catches a glimpse

(i have drowned too many times)

but one day,
i got so close to see her perfection

and

i gazed deep in her sleepy eyes
as i sang to her lullabies
and i saw the truth behind them

it just takes a second closer look
to find out the truth



she was broken, just like me
