It was the summer you got close to me
We jumped the gate and we were free
Hand in hand lips to lips
Our whole lives started with that kiss
Our own fairytale book
And the words you took
And suddenly you and me belonged
First kiss in the rain
No other kiss the same
Your the reason i lose control
And thats the chapter the summer turned cold
Cause she's the reason i had to let go
I live my life in a nightmare
My fairytale ashes in the air
I breathe it in but i choke
I try to stand and i fold
I want to breathe without breathing in blood
I start to cry and i start the flood
I hold the steel sharp on skin
I try to keep you out but you keep getting in
Your phone rings in the middle of the night
(Sorry babe i tried to do whats right)
They want to ask you about this girl
You lied to them told them i was your world
Sorry son she lost her life
To the rusted blade of a kitchen knife
But she left a letter here for you
Says " tell me what else i couldnt do"
You know much about this boy?
But the phone is dead theres no noise
And he swings from the roof just like a toy
He lived his life in a nightmare
His fairytale ashes in the air
He breathed it in he coughed he choked
He tried to stand he could only fold
He could never breathe without choking on blood
When he cried he started a flood
The rope is taut the rope is tight
He thought she knew she was his life.
Two bodies burried side by side
The broken boy and his fairytale wife
Inscripted on the grave pastor read
Two teenagers who lost their heads
Forgot about their real lives
And now they're fairytale ashes
Side by side.
