The Fairy Tale
Ryan Star Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello my love
Let's sit and talk
About what's been troubling you
About that night
When I was so wrong
The price that I paid
Was so strong

If so much fun can be bad
Then why are you sad?
I know what I did
Made love, now forgive

The body you saw
It was not my own
And if it was, I was alone

For how can you see
A prince or a frog?
The fairy tale's far from gone

If your troubles should stay
I'll scare them away
Your knight has come
Love be light and won

If so much fun can be bad
Then why are you sad?
I know what I did,
Let love now forgive

If your troubles should stay
I'll scare them away

Your knight has come love
Be light and be won

Hello my love
Greetings, my cherished one

Let's sit and talk
Let us have a conversation

About what's been troubling you
Discuss the issues distressing you

About that night
Concerning the particular evening

When I was so wrong
At the time where I made an error

The price that I paid
The subsequent consequences that I faced

Was so strong
Were tremendously arduous

If so much fun can be bad
If pleasurable situations lead to unfavorable outcomes

Then why are you sad?
Why are you distressed by the situation?

I know what I did
I recognize my transgressions

Made love, now forgive
We engaged in intimacy, please pardon me
