Once upon a time there was this guy
He was my prince, I swore I’d cry forever if he left
But this fairy tale started to become a lie
So I fell to the ground, and wept

My heart was still his
At the beginning of the fight that is
But then he began to say all these things
My perfect web was full of broken strings

Oh wait, let me guess
You’re thinking of yourself
Well listen please

This isn’t all about you
I’m writing because I love to
So go ahead and be conceited
Write about me, how I’ve been defeated

I don’t mean to be mean or judge him at all
I’m just trying to be honest with him
My prince didn’t catch me when I started to fall
He promised to protect me, it was all a lie

Oh wait, let me guess
You’re thinking of yourself
Well listen please
This isn’t all about you
I’m writing because I love to
So go ahead and be conceited
Write about me, how I’ve been defeated
Say all the things that hurt, you know
Everything about me, I hear you’ve stooped that low
Okay fine, I guess this is all about you
I just can’t stand still loving you

Please don’t shut me out
Just listen to me please
I’m begging you
All I want is to be treated
With love, with respect
With everything you may have left

So yes this is all about you
But also I’m writing this way because I love to
Please don’t go ahead and be conceited
But I understand if you write about how I’ve been defeated
Don’t say all the things that hurt, you know
Everything about me, I’ll forgive you for stooping that low
Yes we both know, this really is all about you
And I guess I’ll just live with the fact that I’ll always love you
