Burned The Fairytal

Lyrics

(Verse 1) I grew up chasing shadows of a storybook life Dreaming of the altar and a perfect, quiet life The princess gets her ending, the prince is always true But nobody tells you what the real world does to you (Backing Choir: She’s learning to stand on her own) I didn’t know the witches or the sisters in the dark How they wait for the moment just to tear you all apart (Backing Choir: She’s learning to stand on her own) My prince was a disguise, he shattered all my trust Left my heart like a castle crumbling into dust. (Chorus) Oh, I burned the fairytale, I wrote a different line Found a strength inside the hollow, learned to make it mine It ain't about the knight who comes to pull me through It’s the power of the prayer that saw me safely through Yeah, the ending’s mine to hold, I’m standing on the throne Building up this life, I’m doing it alone. (Verse 2) They vanished when the rain came, they only love the sun They didn't see the battles that I fought and that I won (Backing Choir: She’s finding the light in the dark) I learned to keep my circle tight, quality over size To celebrate in silence, keep the ego locked inside (Backing Choir: She’s finding the light in the dark) I cried in the silence of a grave I almost kept But I dug myself out while the whole world slept Now I forgive the broken, but I don’t forget the sting I’m the queen of my own story, I’m the one who wears the ring. (Bridge) No one taught the lessons, no one gave a hand I stood upon the wreckage and I learned to understand That the faith I held, the prayer I prayed Was the foundation of the empire that I’ve made. (Chorus) Oh, I burned the fairytale, I wrote a different line Found a strength inside the hollow, learned to make it mine It ain't about the knight who comes to pull me through It’s the power of the prayer that saw me safely through Yeah, the ending’s mine to hold, I’m standing on the throne Building up this life, I’m doing it alone. (Outro) Yeah, I built it on my own. I’m the princess, I’m the queen, I’m the royalty to the throne. Burned the book... Started my own.
