You Were Never My Fairy Tale

I listened to
The old cd
I stole from your car
One of our last nights
I took my things
From your old apartment
Left my ring
Beside your bed

I suppose a breakup is exactly that
Leaves you broken, trying to fix the pieces
I suppose some experiments are meant to fail
You were never my fairy tale.

Just take back the movies
From the five dollar bin
I took your t-shirts
And gave them away
That note is hidden
Somewhere between pages
In boxes I packed
When I moved into my parents'

I suppose a breakup is exactly that
Leaves you broken, trying to fix the pieces
I suppose some experiments were meant to fail
You were never my fairy tale.

And my boyfriend asks me who you were
Sometimes I feel his worry
He'll ask why I wrote this
I just know we were never some sort of love story.

I suppose a breakup is exactly that
Leaves you broken, trying to fix the pieces
I suppose some experiments were meant to fail
You were never my fairy tale.
