lyrics

Is the picket fence in the front yard, not there anymore?
Have you given up your childhood imaginations?
Do you comprehend exactly what this means?
Now you figured it out, it’s not always what it seems…

Was the world so cruel to be,
The abomination of your younger dreams.
Lost the guy you had lucid hope for
But now he’s tearing out all the things that you searched for ever more

But you’ll keep your fairy tale ambitions
And wish for the whole world to be listening
But dear, you should…

Step up your game, pretty girl.
They’re gonna find you someday.
So, baby, you should
Keep your eyes wide open

At a very young age, you were fed a false perception.
It’s not your fault, babe. Though, I hope you learned your lesson.
All the crying nights, your starry eyes bounced in your reflection
But after all, baby girl, I still wish you the best and…

You still keep those fairy tale ambitions
Continue to wish for the whole world to be listening,
Sweetheart…
