People say they understand.
That you'll find love, the grain for you, in a sea of sand.
Then why do I crawl into bed,
And hold my pillow, play pretend inside my head.
As I waste tears on my floor,
And words form in my throat.
I'm expecting so much more,
And I'm filled with secret hope.
Fairytales say you're not alone
But they don't know, but they don't know, but they don't know.
They say in the end, you won't be on your own
But they don't know, but they don't know, but they don't know.
And you feel you've never won
When you're waiting for the person that won't come

Fantasy, is a sharp knife in a gun fight
You are blind by rage.
Want something, want a person,
Want range in your gauge.

But if you wanna stay alive,
Keep your heart intact inside.
Your feelings on its shelf,
You can only trust yourself
Fairytales say you're not alone
But they don't know, but they don't know, but they don't know.
They say in the end, you won't be on your own
But they don't know, but they don't know, but they don't know.
And you feel like you've never won
When you're waiting for the person that won't come

You hide behind your fence,
You live your life in silence.
Your fear eats you to the bone,
Your afraid to die alone.
And they say fairytales say you're not alone
But they don't know, but they don't know, but they don't know.
And they say in the end, you won't be on your own
But they don't know, but they don't know, but they don't know.
And you feel like you've never won
When you're waiting for the person
And you feel like you've never won
When you're waiting for the person that won't come
