I can't look you in the eye today

Our fight got a bit out of hand

I know I shouldn't have called you that

But you shouldn't have yelled so loud we got kicked out of Walgreens

I guess we both made mistakes 

 

I think you know but I'd never say it

How I use sarcasm to hide the way my voice trembles when I talk to you

And biting remarks to cover the whirlwind in my chest

A scowl disguises the tears in my eyes

As I mourn the life we should have had

 

I can't listen to Butterfly Kisses without crying

Because I'll never be your little girl again

Once upon a time is over now

And real life for us has to begin

 

I can't help the choices that we made

And I can't erase the words we said

Mending hearts is like throwing pebbles in the Grand Crayon

Just hoping that one day there'll be a bridge

 

I'm sorry I'm not your princess

But you know that was never really me

I'm the odd little girl who chose books over dresses and crowns

And after all, you wanted a boy instead

 

I'm sorry I don't care about football

And that I drive you crazy with Doctor Who

I'm sorry we don't see eye to eye ever

And I'm sorry we probably never will

 

Don't worry though, I'll be okay

I can stand on my own two feet

I'll learn to pick myself up when I fall

And I'll walk myself down the aisle someday

This will not break me

 

Don't worry about me at all

Worry about the little girl who's still growing

Make her feel like the princess I couldn't be

And make sure she knows she's loved

To the moon and back 

Infinity
