Welcome to Gaia! ::

False Hope, True Love

She's all alone, there's no point in trying.
The burns on her arms,
Run up and follow the scars.
The stains from the tears blanket her perfect skin.
She's sheltered from the world that she's living in.

Lost within stories of a love that aren't true,
They might just be simple little tales to you,
But for her they're signs of hope,
That prevent her from seeing all the woe.
And save her from feeling alone.
No one cares if she falls in love, or even falls at all.
It's like they're blind to the difference between right and wrong.
To them she's just a slave, another pawn.
She's not free,
And she will never be.

She's at home,
All alone.
She's tired of playing pretend.
Her stories won't save her again,
This could be the end.
But wait,
It's not too late.
There, in the moonlight,
There's something shining bright.
Her dress was mended,
The colours blended,
God, it looks splendid.
Her marks disappeared,
Now she is an image to be endeared.
"Go now, dear, search for the one who is true,
You've got until midnight to make sure they find you."

So she ran to the ball,
With no care at all.
She and a man locked eyes,
Call it love at first sight.
They danced throughout the night until they fell,
Oh, with one another they'd make Heaven out of Hell.
When the clock struck midnight away went the beauty spell.
So she ran away before he caught her name,
He prayed this wasn't just some sick game.
She left behind one piece of evidence,
A simple glass shoe was left in his presence.
He vowed to search for her till she was found,
By determination he was bound.
"Oh, I'd search the world for the gaze of her eye,
Just to have one last dance before the end of my time.
I'd kill just to make her mine.
So, please, just give me a sign.
I'd sell my soul just for just one kiss.
A thousand smiles that I may miss.
I'll never give up on her,
I'll search to the ends of the Earth.
I don't care how long it takes.
My love was destined, this is not my fate!"
Cinderella if the shoe fits,
Promise me you'll wear it.
