Where's my love story?

She was only sixteen.

Didn’t know a single thing

about life beyond her school,

followed every single rule

Till the day he passed her way.

Something inside changed that day.

He didn’t see her standing there.

Couldn’t see how much she cared.

Too shy to say hello.

She never told him, just watched him go,

so she hides away and cries.

Sings alone as her heart dies.

Chorus:

I read the stories,

I see the movies,

I know all of the love songs.

But there’s no one here

to hold me, tell me “Dear,

don’t worry, I’ll fix all the wrongs.”

What a silly dream

to want Prince Charming

in a world where I can’t win.

To want a big romance,

to laugh and kiss and dance.

Oh, when will my love story begin?

She was twenty-five.

On her own, feeling so alive.

Thinking life was all a joke,

didn’t care whose heart she broke.

Every night a different man,

she gets her kicks however she can.

She never lets them get near.

Her heart would be in pieces she fears.

So she keeps it locked away,

secretly hoping, she silently prays

“Please bring a man to me,

one I can trust, to make me happy.”

Chorus:

I read the stories,

I see the movies,

I know all of the love songs.

But there’s no one here

to hold me, tell me “Dear,

don’t worry, I’ll fix all the wrongs.”

What a silly thing

to want Prince Charming

in a world where I can’t win.

To want a big romance,

to laugh and kiss and dance.

Oh when will my love story begin?

I am tired of waiting,

this cycle of faceless dating.

My heart is always burns.

Oh, when will it be my turn…

Chorus:

I’ve read the stories,

I’ve seen the movies,

I know all of the love songs.

Still there’s no one here

to hold me, tell me “Dear,

don’t worry, I’ll fix all the wrongs.”

What a silly dream

to want Prince Charming

in a world where I can’t win.

To want a big romance,

to laugh and kiss and dance.

Oh, when will my love story begin?
