Forever Gonna Be A Fairytale

I used to dream of us under the same sky Wishing on the stars, hoping you'd be mine But the stars have faded, and the nights feel long Reality setting in where we don't belong Your words were like magic, whispered so sweet But now they're just echoes that I can't repeat I built you a kingdom in this world of mine But in yours, you closed the castle gate, left me behind I held on tight to a love that wasn't there Chasing dreams, believing you'd care Now the story's fading, the pages torn And I'm left with a heart that's battle-worn You're forever gonna be a fairytale to me A fantasy is all you will ever be All you are now is a distant memory Slowly letting go of our destiny Once upon a time I thought it was real A happily ever after was what I could feel But now perhaps it was just an ideal Something unattainable, something so surreal In my dreams, you were a knight in shining armor Riding in on a steed, you were my charmer I was the princess locked away in a tower Hoping you'd arrive and prove our love's true power But the castle walls were never meant to fall And the fairytale was just a story to recall Now the pages are yellowed, the ink has dried And I'm left with a fantasy where love's denied I held on tight to a love that wasn't there Chasing dreams, believing you'd care Now the story's fading, the pages torn And I'm left with a heart that's battle-worn You're forever gonna be a fairytale to me A fantasy is all you will ever be All you are now is a distant memory Slowly letting go of our destiny Once upon a time I thought it was real A happily ever after was what I could feel But now perhaps it was just an ideal Something unattainable, something so surreal I've woken from the dream where you were my knight No more chasing fiction through the endless night The fairytale's over, and the story's clear You were a mirage that has now disappeared I held on tight to a love that wasn't there Chasing dreams, believing you'd care Now the story's fading, the pages torn And I'm left with a heart that's battle-worn You're forever gonna be a fairytale to me A fantasy is all you will ever be All you are now is a distant memory Slowly letting go of our destiny Once upon a time I thought it was real A happily ever after was what I could feel But now perhaps it was just an ideal Something unattainable, something so surreal As the last page turns, I'll close the book The fairytale's ended, no more need to look Our story's been told, and now it's time to part I'll find my own way and I'll mend my own heart No more dreams of you under a starlit sky Just the quiet of reality as I say goodbye The fairytale's over, the curtain's drawn tight I'll walk through the silence and embrace the night
