A New Woman - MAKE BELIEVE JUST LIKE YOU

Written at 21 years old

I was never in love
I always thought i was
A crush is something we learn
Reality it ain't fantasy
A fairytale is just a story they made up so a girl feels like a princess
Why did it seem so special?

You're easy on me
You're sweet and gentle
You're down to earth
You're special
You're funny

This is why i am letting you into my heart
Keep it easy on me
I've never been in love before
I've never been hurt before
You promise forever long we'll be married

So i count the days from one to two and three to four and five to seven and seven to eight
Eight to sixteen
Sixteen to thirty-two
Thirty-two to sixty-four
Sixty-four to one hundred and twenty-eight
one hundred and twenty eight to two hundred and fifty-six
Two hundred and fifty-six to five hundred and twelve
Five hundred and twelve to one thousand and twenty four
I counted until one thousand four hundred and sixty

Until you broke your promise
You weren't easy
You took advantage
You lied
You cheated
You spammed
You scammed
You blackmailed
You hurt me
You were no longer anything in my eyes other than a burden too much
I handled it all to easy before
Though i fought through my depression just to make sure everything i could do
I did the maximum
After a 147 there ain't nothing more you can do
I did it all
Nothing was left on the table other than heartbreak

So i said goodbye to you
I ended everything we went through
Even though i wished it never happened
I wished you were everything you said you was
Reality ain't fantasy
Cinderella dreamed far too long
Sleeping beauty never woke up
The frog never found his princess
Belle was too late
Snow white never found her prince

Fairy tales are all made up
Make believe
Just like you
