So Much for My Happy Ending

If I were falling,
Would you catch me?
Would you keep me,
Away from harm?
You would, you knew you would,
You swore you would

And if you were beauty,
Could I be your beast?
If you were the prince,
Would you rescue me?
You would, You knew you would,
You swore you would

But we can't all have shining armour,
On pure white destrier,
We can't all have a glass slipper,
Without breaking it,
Into a thousand ice cold shards

A single perfect rose,
Red forever, love personified,
A symbol of eternity,
When in the end,
It only withers and dies

Maybe next time,
I'll fall for the beast.
