Lyrics
We read lies wrapped in bedtime
Heroes never bled, monsters died on time
Three little walls, blown into ash
The builder, he lasted
But we laughed
They said love
Could fix it quick
Happy endings
Just needed a kiss
But no one warned us where it breaks
No one said what fairytales take
No one warns you the hero bleeds first
Truth isn't clean, it's sharp, it hurts
She lost her light before the fight
He climbed so high, forgot his why
Fairytales don't lie, they hide
Wait 'til you live one
You'll decide
Cinders in a stolen dress
Wolves that smile
While they caress
They said you're safe if you obey
But even towers fall that way
Even broken chords still sing
Even witches wear a ring
The dark we feared, we learn to tread
The tales we loved were things we bled
No one warns you, the hero bleeds first
The crown gets heavy, the throne is cursed
She wandered off to find her name
And came back haunted, never the same
Fairytales don't lie, they wait
To tell the truth when it's too late
Now I see the pages burn
Fairytales we didn't earn
We thought we watched, but we were cast
Living echoes of the past
Not the reader, not the child
We're the wolf, the witch, the wild
You thought it was a story, but it was you
Bricks and wolves
Spells and glass
We were too young
To see the cracks
Now every scar we never met
Feels like a line we should've read
No one warns you the hero bleeds first
Truth isn't clean, it's sharp, it hurts
She lost her light before the fight
He climbed so high, forgot his why
Fairytales don't lie, they hide
Fairytales make sense when you forget
Then hit you harder with regret
