Fairy Tales Were Wrong

When I was a little girl I was told fairy tales
And I was raised to beware of the monster in a black cape
I was made to believe that evil would be so ugly
That you could see it as soon it was there

Oh, how wrong they were
Cause you're right here in front of me
You look like Prince Charming
But you have a dark heart
You get me caught up in your twisted arts

I was fooled by your big blue eyes
I was drawn in by your blonde hair
Why was I never warned that those with dark hearts could be so fair
Cause now that you've pulled me close 
I can't deny my affections for you
But you give me a roller coaster ride
Why did I not see past your blue eyes
You push and pull me all the time

I should have known
I should have been able to see
Just how twisted you are
Your looks are a lie
You don't wear a black cape
You don't have an ugly face
As much as I try to hate that monster inside
I still want you 

You look like Prince Charming
But you have a dark heart
And I was drawn in like a moth to a flame
You've got me in your prison of desire
I'm in chains, can't you see
All I want, all I need is to be let free
