I'm vexed with fairytales, fairytales

They fooled me, fooled me

Had me yearning at the break of dawn

But now I'm in my twenties

I grasp not a single thing

About my essence or the mask I don

So dub me a skeptic

Yet I can't conceive in it

Chasing a pure love's peck is nonsense

'Cause I've known sorrow's touch

I've known aching much

At times joyful love (Joyful love)

Shifts into letting go (Letting go)

I've known pain's embrace

By the term love's grace

What on earth should love really feel like?

What on earth is love? What on earth is love?

What on earth should love really feel like?

My wise elder cautioned me

Cinderella's narrative

Only led to a grim split-up

The prince isn't dreaming when he

Whisks his slumbering queen

To the seashore suite on his pure white steed
