&quot;If you look inside a girl, you&#039;ll see how much she really cries.<br /> You&#039;ll find best friends, hidden secrets, and lies<br /> You&#039;ll find out how hard it is to stay strong<br /> When nothing is right, and everything is wrong&quot;

Prince Charming has fled
Rode his white horse away
Rapunzel chopped off her hair
That very same day

When Snow White fell asleep
He rescued her
But the dream she had
Remains a blur

As the clock struck midnight
At Cinderella’s ball
He said the words that left
My world to fall

As Belle was trapped
And left to die
I lived what was left
Of this awful lie

Not all fairy tales end
With happily ever after
Just the same, not all jokes
End with laughter
