A Not-So-Fairy Tale

On one particularly "ordinary" evening, while enduring the monotonous rotation of the great wheel of existence, I stumbled upon a creature, the spitting image of a fractured mirror—colorful, inconsistent, ever-changing. A human kaleidoscope, if you will, or perhaps, just maybe, a flighty butterfly in disguise. Amidst this dazzling encounter, who would've imagined that our souls would resonate to the eloquent melodies of Halsey and the deep musings of Nessa Barrett? Surely, a match made in musical irony! Her tale, which I'm sure has never been heard before, sparked a unique song within me. So, pull up a chair, or maybe don't. Dive into the depths of this melodramatic saga, or just skim the surface. No pressure. After all, it's an experience tailor-made just for you—or not. Your call. Enjoy!

Cried You a River

[Verse]:
You painted a picture, so perfect and bright
Every word felt like truth, blinding my sight
Made my favorite dish, felt oh so right.
My hoodie in your closet, yours close to my heart,
Sharing dreams and secrets, a world just for two
But behind the curtain, your lies grew and grew

[Verse]
We talked and laughed, living the dream,
Then you chose another, broke our team.
I played your fool, just a game you spoke,
Lost in your tales, in the lies you wove.

[Chorus]
Some hearts get broken, that's part of the deal
You can think it's forever, when it's not even real
Cried you a river, my mascara tears do tell,
Guess you're not worth it, in your lies I fell.
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

[Refrain]
Washed away, in my mascara tears,
Washed away, all my fears.
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

[Verse]:
With each step forward, memories hold me tight,
They say love's a gamble, you win or you lose
But even in heartbreak, there's something to choose
To learn and to grow, to find your own light
To rise from the ashes, shining bright

[Verse]:
Thought you'd be forever, my heart’s design,
In the journey to move on, I find my light.
Some tears will be shed, washing away the past
But in the end, I'm stronger, that's the moral of the story

[Bridge]:
Raise a glass to your tales and your plays,
Lost in love’s maze, but I've seen better days.
You thought it was fun, a game to be played,
But now you're the past, in shadows you fade.

[Chorus]
Some hearts get broken, that's part of the deal
You can think it's forever, when it's not even real
Cried you a river, my mascara tears do tell,
Guess you're not worth it, in your lies I fell.
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

[Refrain]
Washed away, in my mascara tears,
Washed away, all my fears.
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)(Oh-oh, oh-oh

[Outro]
Here's to what you became, a story to share,
Love's lessons learned, in the end, it's fair.
Once you were everything,
now, a memory that fades, that’s all, after all.
that’s all, after all.
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

[Refrain]
Washed away, in my mascara tears,
Washed away, all my fears.
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)(Oh-oh, oh-oh
