someone should have told me
a million years before
that there are no prince charmings
and they don't exist any more
someone should have told me
not to keep on dreaming
and that the only people left
are probably lying and scheming
someone should have told me
that not every man was good,
that believing every single one
was giving more than i should
and since nobody told me
how mean a man can be,
I've let them have a parts of my heart
now there's nothing left for me
