A song for the hopeless

There's this little girl sitting on the sidewalk
She's so sad she doesn't seem to want to talk
Maybe the words blacked out
And nothing seems right enough for he to go out

She wants to lock herself in a fairytale
She doesn't believe anymore
Thinking she'd buy time if it was for sale
Wanting to go back to the time she was sure
That magic existed and she could always go home
And not cry forever more

She wishes on stars
But still he doesn't take her scars
It takes one to know when to give up
But she never stops standing up

She wants to lock herself in a fairytale
She doesn't believe anymore
Thinking she could be Cinderella in the ball
Wanting to have a prince to break her fall
Was it worth it to dream on?
When all she believed was long gone?
Just take her home
Where she belongs.

There's a dreamland somewhere
A place where nothing goes wrong
As soon as they hear your song
A place that's honest and fair
"I'm here if you need me, don't be scared"

She can't believe it
But it's real and there
not some story she made up somewhere
