You Don't Understand

They said, "move forward"
'Look away from the past'
But you don't understand the pain
And the things I must do let the feelings go away


She was mine

She was my Gwen
And I'm her Spidey
She was my Ariel
Precious more than any seashell

She was my apple
I'm her snow white
No prince and no horses
No damsel and no distress
When we were in each other arms

She's my Rapunzel
That clumsy cute little girl
Who knew nothing about the world
How about another adventure?

She was my Tiana
To whom I promised ever after
The smell of her kitchen
I'll trade my soul to not be forgotten

My Jasmine, ever beautiful
To whom I've shown the world
Told her, 'It's not all shining shimmering and splendid'
I know she's well off without me, It's hard to accept it

She was my Anna
I became her Hans
This naive girl was so right in many ways
and I was the wrong guy for her, like everyone says

She's my Aurora in this tiring world
One kiss, one cuddle by her bed
Maybe she's asleep or doing crochet
Maybe she just wanted me because of the spell

She was my Belle
I'm her Beast
Using deception, I gave her hell
Saying it's just an abandoned beautiful castle

Deep inside, I hope
That she's my brave Merida
For time to come
When she no longer needs anyone

To be Mulan
Who never longs for anyone
To prove she doesn't need another man
She who chose a sword over a gun

Share a face with Pocahontas
Who loved herself more than anyone else
Who chose her tribe and herself
Everyone who dared against even knelt

Showed the shadow of Moana
To know that she's also strong as "Ria"
To be an independent woman
That even when all people say their goodbyes, she'll be just as fine

You don't understand
She was my princess
I was the beast, the villain, the monster
I was never the prince nor the rightful princess

A hero may destroy his love
for the sake of everything
I, the smudge in this story
Is willing to ruin anything in this world,
Because she's my everything

You don't understand


You got it all wrong when you said
'I could just forget'
Cause how could I?
when the one who was once mine

Is already by another's side?


'What it should be' is not always happy
For the better is not everyone's happy ending
But I'm fine as long as you are happy
But sometimes, I still think about why shouldn't it be me?
