Fairy tales are full of shit

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you

Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?
I like the idea of blogging like this
I listen to so many songs, 
so it only makes sense 
to find a way to integrate them physically in my posts
rather than just mentally, or through my titles
Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember,
The people we used to be...
It's even harder to picture,
That you're not here next to me.
I mean, I get inspired by so many things
but having a song  pounding through my skull while I type
has to be the best creative motivation I can think of
the beat, the words, the thoughts
the cliche relations I can find within
You say it's too late to make it,
But is it too late to try?
And in our time that you wasted
All of our bridges burned down
This just happens to be my creativity at this moment
I don't know exactly why this song's making me think
maybe because a bad relationship is the basis
of some of the issues I've been seeing lately
Or to be be more specific, the catalyst 
I've wasted my nights,
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed,
Still stuck in that time,
When we called it love,
But even the sun sets in paradise
I think she would have left us anyways
She just happened to have an addiction to the wrong guys
Comparable to the amounts of gay men I find
Gay men, bad boys
a terrible comparison but still. 
The point is ...
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?
As lonely as I can get sometimes
between my own thoughts
and the opinions of everyone around me
and the pressure from the couples
I haven't given up my standards
If happy ever after did exist,
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairy tales are full of shit
One more fucking love song, I'll be sick.
One more stupid love song, I'll be sick
That even those fairy tales are really full of shit
That things do work out eventually
but settling isn't ever going to get me there
the place where happiness exists
I'm glad I've figured that out
Oh, you turned your back on tomorrow
'Cause you forgot yesterday.
I gave you my love to borrow,
But you just gave it away.
That finding my fairy tale can be on terms
and I don't have to feel like I'm not worth something
just because I'm not
sucked into a "since there isn't 
anything better " relationship
You can't expect me to be fine,
I don't expect you to care
I know I've said it before,
But all of our bridges burned down

I've wasted my nights,
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed,
Still stuck in that time,
When we called it love,
But even the sun sets in paradise
That my paradise will be mine
because I've made it that way
I didn't waste months of my life
just because I was afraid
to be lonely
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?
I mean, what good is a memoir 
when at the end there wasn't a rough path
a couple of dark patches
some lonely spaces
If happy ever after did exist,
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairy tales are full of shit
One more fucking love song, I'll be sick.
One more stupid love song, I'll be sick
Now I'm at a payphone
Not to sound cliche again
but what's the fun in the bright spots
and trusting someone to take care of you
if you haven't had the chance
to take care of yourself
first?

Man, fuck that shit
I'll be out spending all this money
While you're sitting round wondering
Why it wasn't you who came up from nothing,
Made it from the bottom
Now when you see me I'm stunning,
And all of my cars start with a push of a button
So in the end
I'm glad I saw her downfall
as much as it brought about the downfall
of the family I know, and love
and care about 
until the end of time
Telling me the chances I blew up
Or whatever you call it,
Switch the number to my phone
So you never could call it,
Don't need my name on my show,
You can tell it I'm ballin.
It's given me the opportunity to witness
exactly what I don't want to be
exactly where I don't want to be
exactly where 
I WILL NOT END UP

Swish, what a shame could have got picked
Had a really good game but you missed your last shot
So you talk about who you see at the top
Or what you could have saw but sad to say it's over for.

Wiz like go away, got what you was looking for
Now it's me who they want, so you can go and take
that little piece of shit with you.
Because I'm not going to be like that
Family First, 
Hoes before Bros
Me, Myself and I
Whatever you want to say
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?
I'm going to be strong
and not feel like I have no where to go
except to someone who treats me poorly
because I know enough
If happy ever after did exist,
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairy tales are full of shit
One more fucking love song, I'll be sick.
One more stupid love song, I'll be sick
Now I'm at a payphone...
That I'm worth more than that
To myself,
and to everyone else that knows me
and if a guy doesn't see it
then I don't need him anyways
