Something Grimm

By Jocelyn Zapata

Once upon a never, you were the reason I lived
Always looking to you to make me feel like…
Everyone knows fairytales don’t exist
Hoping you could prove that love actually did

You find yourself, from deep within
You cry for help, it’s something grimm
You fall apart, you meet your end
Life is short, it’s something grimm

La, la la, la
My heart has been impaled
La, la, la, la
Life is no fairytale

Once upon a time, you were the reason that I lived
Once upon a time, you put the hope in hopeless
I refuse to live a life that’s filled with regret
Don’t want to grow old and miserable like you

You find yourself, from deep within
You cry for help, it’s something grimm
You fall apart, you meet your end
Life is short, it’s something grimm

La, la, la, la
My heart has been impaled
La, la, la, la
Life is no fairytale

Shadows fall from everywhere
Shallow minds behind blank stares
Empty hearts and sorrow sing
There’s no happy ending
Shadows fall from everywhere
Shallow minds behind blank stares
Empty hearts and sorrow sing
There’s no happy ending

You find yourself, from deep within
You cry for help, it’s something grimm
You fall apart, you meet your end
Life is short, it’s something grimm

Life is no fairytale, it’s something grimm, it never ends
As the ship sets a sail, it’s something grimm, it never ends
As the weight tips down the scale, it’s something grimm, it never ends
and new lies will begin, it’s something grimm, it never ends
