Fairy Tale

The love between a princess and her prince,
is still so very strong.
But a stranger came between them,
and she took him, right or wrong.

I don't know about that story,
that has a happy end.
I'm afraid this one is different,
the beginning and the end.

I'll tell you about this story,
so listen very close.
They thought they'd be together forever,
and they were -- almost.

They'd known each other for years,
but then one day.
They looked at each other through different eyes,
and created a love that would stay.

They spent all their time together,
almost as if they were one.
But as time went on, they grew apart,
and now their relationship is done.

The prince, he looked for something new,
and what could the princess do?
Her heart is totally broken,
and the prince has someone new.

Me - I am that princess,
who no longer has her love.
I gave him all I could,
but obviously I wasn't enough.
