theres a girl lying in her bed
eyes swollen from tears
she won't shed again
tears for a childhood lost
tears for a love she's
longed for and given up on
where's the love in her
broken and bruised life?
where's the knight
who'll come to rescue her?
faerie tales she used to believe
the threads of that faith
dissolved with her tears
wondering where's the love
in this broken home of hers
longing for an escape from life
imagination worn out tonight
sleep stays one step ahead
and she knows it'll be
another long night
where's the peace
for her shattered heart?
how will she put it all
together again?
faerie tales she used to believe
the threads of faith
dissolved with her tears
there's a girl lying in her bed
shadows taunting her again
and she knows it'll be
another endless night
