Fairytale
V.O.D.A. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

what ever happened to fairy tales
where i could just run away and start clean all over again

well wheres this story going to end
i dont wanna fall in love and see that you played pretend

baby ive been up all night
scrolling through out texts last fight
i hate to see that you never caught it
that maybe we should have never started

well baby i cant seem to find
a reason we should make things right
its not like the love i gave was special
to you anyway

cause i was sinking with you
cause i was sinking with you

and when you miss me, you come and pull me back to you
but i cant fix myself, though you swear itll all be different
cause i was sinking fast with you
and theres no way back once you kiss me

baby ive been up all night
scrolling through out texts last fight
i hate to see that you never caught it
that maybe we should have never started

well baby i cant seem to find
a reason we should make things right




its not like the love i gave was special
to you anyway
