Safe

Fairy Tales

Fairy tales aren't real.

I learned that a few years ago.

Every Cinderella's Prince Charming

Is somewhere off harming

That girl just down the road.

She's just another heart to steal.

And if you want a love song,

Then you'll just have to wait your turn.

The singer is writing a ballad,

But all it says is how sad

He was that he had to learn

That true love can sometimes be wrong.

And that best friend you love,

You're just their best friend,

So you can't be anything more.

And even if you try, you'll bore

Them to tears in a day, and it'll end,

Because YOUR love is never enough.

But if you keep your heart out of pain,

And by this I mean don't give it out,

Then you'll be keeping it safe.

You won't have to, mourn or wave,

Or say goodbye. There's no doubt,

You'll be best if you keep it unmaimed.
