I've never been the princess in the fairy tale,
never the girl at the top of the stairs.
I've never had the ideal body,
no flawless skin or perfect hair.
I don't have a trust fund,
and I don't have a silver spoon.
I grew up in the real world,
forced to grow up way too soon.
I've had to fight for what I love,
I've had to fight just to live.
I've had to stand my ground
and fight for what I believe in.
All that I ever wanted
was that fairy tale life,
for all my wishes to come true,
for a white horse to bring my knight.
But everything I'm not
is nothing that you want.
And I go to bed at night
so happy with my life.
You love my jeans and my tee shirt,
you love my messy hair,
and you'll always be there to catch me
when I fall down those stairs.
Because everything I am
is everything you love.
You've showed me that imperfections
are nothing to be ashamed of.
My life has never been a fairy tale,
though I thought I wanted it to be.
True love is loving imperfections,
and that's alright with me.
