Another Broken Fairytale (Glosa Verse)

by Jenni Marie   Jul 21, 2008


Lines taken From High School Musical-When There Was Me And You

"I'm standing here but all I want is to be over there
Why did I let myself believe miracles could happen
Cause now I have to pretend that I don't really care
I thought you were my fairytale, a dream when I'm not sleeping"

Guess I was stupid to let these protective barriers down
For all these smiles and laughs are now permanent frowns
Constantly arguing, tears running free, oh how cliche
Wishing for pain to leave, but it's getting worse every day
Recalling those precious hours spent in your comforting arms
How idiotic could I be to have fallen for your alluring charms
Making promises you couldn't keep, of always and forever
Only it didn't work out that way, we're not meant to be together
So euphoric when we were together, now left in complete despair
"I'm standing here but all I want is to be over there"

Can still feel your touch, those soft kisses on my neck
One person who made me happy turned me into a wreck
Thought we had something perfect, but wasn't like it seemed
Fell hard for your deciving heart, each night you haunt my dreams
Funny how I'm coming to love and hate you at the same time
Everything crashed to the ground when love used to so sublime
Every single day this heartache and agony gets more intense
Fixing a shiny smile in place but so tired of living in pretence
Heart bouncing in pretense for it to be left mishappen
"Why did I let mymisshapeneve miracles could happen?"

All those whispered I love you's and shared emotions
Guess they never meant anything to you, left me broken
Everytime you say "just friends" heart breaks a little more
Stole away my heart when I shouldn't have unlocked the door
Now my heart's crumbling as you hold it with slippery hands
How could you let me fall then turn away, I don't understand
What we used to have once seemed so special and perfect
Only now it seems my love is just something for you to reject
Why oh why did you promise that you'd always be there
"'Cause now I have to pretend that I don't really care"

Know exactly how I feel yet continue to play games
Starting to slowly realize that things will never change
Reminiscing how you used to look at me, those sweet lips
Do you realize I'd do anything just for one more kiss
Day after day constantly sitting sorrowfully at home
Wishing only to hear your voice, perched by the phone
How'd you get under my skin and take away all my control
Friends try to make me smile but seems I can't be consoled
Smiling melancholy recalling when our love was so appealing
"I thought you were my fairytale, a dream when I'm not sleeping"
