I have a story that I have to tell
To get it off my chest, if anyone cares
It wont take too long
Though it might make you cry
Cause when I first heard it I had a tear in my eye

I'll tell it in first person so you don't get confused
There once was a princess, so perfect, so cute
As my heart started to fall
I quickly realized
That this could be the girl that I've needed all my life
As time went by, it seemed like fate
The late night talks, and overnight dates
But this fairy tale, that I've started to tell
Ends a little different and now I don't feel to well

It's hard to believe
That you weren't meant for me
It doesn't seem fair
No matter how hard I try
It's hard to believe
That you weren't meant for me
It doesn't seem fair
Cause you just set the mark for the rest of my life
And I won't settle for less
Even if I have to search
Till I die

Do you think this was easy for me
Well I've got news
It's the hardest thing I've ever had to go through
I keep reaching for your hand
But all I feel is this cold sand
As I sit here and watch these waves crash down
I want to give up, but I can't make a sound
Looks like I missed my chance again
Cause in these games I can never win

And the saints will come marching in
Telling you the things that I've been trying to tell you
Over and over again
That you were meant for me
It doesn't some fair
No matter
How hard I try
