Rewriting Fairy Tales

No once upon a time's
No happily-ever-after's
No one divine
No people who would rather
See a girl kiss a toad
And a prince to save her
I'll take the heavier load
With no flying savior
There's no hero
And no heroine
Is it weird, though?
That I still let him come in

I'm rewriting fairy tales
Where we don't know which one prevails
I'm changing how life should be
Dreams shouldn't be all you see
I have a love that will last
My life has an ever-changing cast
And you couldn't do it
You already blew it
It's your life for the mending
I already found my own happy ending

I'm in distress
But don't call me a damsel
And I'll digress
It can be a lot to handle
I need rescue
But not a prince on a horse
You may not like my view
But I don't need a man in armor to force
My life to go his way
I have someone of my choosing
Maybe your prince can be gay
Those guys are the ones losing

I'm rewriting fairy tales
Where we don't know which one prevails
I'm changing how life should be
Dreams shouldn't be all you see
I have a love that will last
My life has an ever-changing cast
And you couldn't do it
You already blew it
It's your life for the mending
I already found my own happy ending

He's no knight, he's no prince
But I don't need to convince
You of his charming air
And I know it's not fair
To you
Even though he doesn't...shine
Our love is...true
That thing that you want, it's all mine

I'm rewriting fairy tales
Where we don't know which one prevails
I'm changing how life should be
Dreams shouldn't be all you see
I have a love that will last
My life has an ever-changing cast
And you couldn't do it
You already blew it
It's your life for the mending
'Cause he is my happy ending
