Fairytale
Did you know men believe in fairy tales
That our hearts yearn for a happily ever after to come true
For me it started as a little boy dreaming the dreams that little boys do
Where I envisioned myself as a hero coming to my woman's rescue
And those dreams are where my issues ensue
Delusions of wanting to be your knight in shining armor
Unaware that was my problem
Cause in my head I made you out to be a damsel in distress
Wandering around lost and helpless
Instead of a partner I wanted to spend the rest of my life with
I was senseless to what relationships are actually built with
Oblivious that reality doesn't coincide with fiction
and because of that
I failed before we ever started the quest
For growth and development that was probably for the best
A lesson I'd love to object or even forget cause all that's left is the regret I now live with
The pain, the shame, the wondering what ifs
The learning that happily ever after isn't where the story ends
The fairy tales I grew up watching as a kid never showed me how to handle this
And because of that I started to question fairy tales a bit
No one told me how to move once the story hits a rift
Let alone how to shift once it no longer exist
So, tell me how do you live when the fairytale ends
