You can say you love me,
But what you don't realize is,
When I say it back, I actually mean it.

You may think it'll be easy to just let it all go,
But what you don't know is I fell harder than you think.

I'm convincing myself,
That things worked out for the best.

All of my dreams,
I threw them all away.

I now realize,
They were just false hopes.

I never thought we would end up here,
But I guess I'm not surprised.

I can tell myself I'm over you,
And I can find someone new.
But I know deep down,
No one will ever take your place.

I don't hate you for ending our fairytale,
I'm thanking you, because it has made me a stronger person.
It has taught me how to never trust or love anyone else ever again.

She led herself to believe she'd never be good enough,
She led herself to believe this because it's what you told her.

So take all your lies,
And turn them on yourself.
I know all of your games,
And I'm not going to be the one being played anymore.

And she's not holding onto a fairy tale,
She's holding onto what she thought was reality.
