Every girl writes their own fairytale
But you're the author that I choose to love
That I choose to love, love, love
You imagine me a hero
But I never said I'd save the world
I never claimed to wear a crown
Cuz maybe I will never be everything you ask of me
We might have to compromise
I can't be Darcy when my face don't fit
Yet I'm centre stage in your fantasy
I'm vital to your masterpiece
I'll play your lead but I am not the plot
I've been honest from the very start
I never promised you the stars
Cuz maybe I will never be everything you ask of me
We might have to compromise
Cuz maybe I will never be everything you ask of me
We are gonna have to compromise sometimes
These fairytales stay out of reach
If you can't paint life's black and white
Reality
Building towers just to high to climb
Let's not make ourselves too hard to please
It would be enough for me
And if our castle lies on terraced streets
And you agreed you'd be my noble queen
It would be enough for me
Cuz maybe I will never be everything you ask of me
We might have to compromise
Cuz maybe I will never be everything you ask of me
We are gonna have to compromise sometimes
These fairytales stay out of reach
If you can't paint life's black and white
Reality
Cuz these fairytales stay out of reach
If you can't paint life's black and white
Reality
