Jess Moskaluke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That face of an angel
Comes out just when you need it to
As I paced back and forth all this time
Cause I honestly believed in you
Holding on
The days drag on
Stupid girl,
That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you and your white horse to come around
Maybe I was naïve
Got lost in your eyes
And never really had a chance
My mistake, I didn't know to be in love
You had to fight to have the upper hand
I had so many dreams
About you and me
Happy endings
Now I know
That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you and your white horse to come around
And there you are on your knees
Begging for forgiveness, begging for me
Just like I always wanted but I'm so sorry
But I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale
I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well
This is a big world, that was a small town
There in my rear view mirror disappearing now
Now it's too late for you and your white horse
Yea it's too late for you and your white horse to catch me now
The song White Horse by Jess Moskaluke tells a story of a girl who is disappointed in love. She believed that her boyfriend is the prince charming who will make all her dreams come true, but instead, all he did was break her heart. The opening lines “Say you’re sorry, that face of an angel comes out just when you need it to” suggest that the man can be charming when it suits him. The girl had faith that he would come around and they would live happily ever after.
The lyrics “That I’m not a princess, this ain’t a fairy tale, I’m not the one you’ll sweep off her feet, lead her up the stairwell, this ain’t Hollywood, this is a small town” illustrate the girl’s realization that she is not living in a fairy tale, and the man is not her knight in shining armor. She is not the type of girl who will fall for someone just because he’s good-looking and sweet. She needs someone who will understand and treat her right.
The chorus, “Now it’s too late for you and your white horse to come around” emphasizes the girl’s decision to move on from the failed relationship. The man who didn’t treat her right is begging for forgiveness, but it doesn’t matter anymore because she’s gone. Overall, the song is about learning from past mistakes, growing, and realizing that sometimes, fairy tales don’t come true.
Line by Line Meaning
Say you're sorry
Admit your mistakes and apologize for your actions
That face of an angel
You have a deceiving face that makes others trust you
Comes out just when you need it to
You use your friendly face to manipulate others into trusting you
As I paced back and forth all this time
I've been anxious and restless, trying to figure out what went wrong
Cause I honestly believed in you
I trusted you and had faith in our relationship
Holding on
I desperately wanted our relationship to work
The days drag on
Time seems to move slowly when you're waiting for something
Stupid girl,
I feel foolish for trusting you
I should have known, I should have known
I regret not seeing the red flags and realizing how you really were
That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not a perfect person and my life doesn't always go according to plan
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
I'm not someone you can easily manipulate and control
Lead her up the stairwell
This is not a romantic movie-like story where everything ends up perfectly
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
Our life may seem boring and ordinary, but it's real
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Before I knew how cruel you were, I believed in love and happy endings
Now it's too late for you and your white horse to come around
I'm done with our relationship and I don't want you back
Maybe I was naïve
Perhaps I was too innocent and inexperienced in love
Got lost in your eyes
I was blinded by your charm and couldn't see your true character
And never really had a chance
Our relationship was doomed from the start because you were not a good person
My mistake, I didn't know to be in love
I didn't understand that love sometimes requires sacrifice and hard work
You had to fight to have the upper hand
You wanted all the power and control in our relationship
I had so many dreams
I envisioned a wonderful life with you, full of love and happiness
About you and me
I thought we were meant to be together
Happy endings
I hoped our story would have a happy and beautiful ending
And there you are on your knees
You are begging for a second chance, but it's too late now
Begging for forgiveness, begging for me
You want me to forgive you and take you back, but I won't
Just like I always wanted but I'm so sorry
I used to imagine you would come back and beg for my forgiveness, but I'm sorry it won't work
I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well
I believe there is someone out there who will treat me with love and respect
This is a big world, that was a small town
There are many opportunities and possibilities in this big world
There in my rear view mirror disappearing now
I'm leaving our past behind and moving on with my life
Yea it's too late for you and your white horse to catch me now
I'm over you and I don't want you back in my life
