fairy tales - mirwin lyrics

intro:
chi capisce l’amore?
beh tesoro, te l’ho detto molte volte
l’amore non è come le fiabe
credimi, l’amore è molto più complicato
a volte è più facile amare gli altri che amare se stessi

hook:
what is love? (what is love?)
but a drug (but a drug)
starvin’ me (ooh la la)
deep
what is love? (what is love?)
but a drug (but a drug)
starvin’ me (ooh la la)
deep

verse 1:
i’m sorry it’s like this i feel for you ant
i know there’s family who don’t understand
i’m sharin’ your pain, hopin’ to explain
what it’s like to grow up in a culture of shame
one day nothin’ fit like it should
step on the scale and it hurts to look
still throwin’ up, not light enough, just
need the likes right now, and the weight’s no good
pretty people don’t mirror me
surrounded by a lie i can’t achieve
ulta light, empty calories
picture perfect, see me on a screen
feel like slim, sweater covered in vomit
throw it in the trash hide it from my momma
”beauty is pain” deep down if i’m honest
i don’t know how to escape this trauma
hook:
what is love? (what is love?)
but a drug (but a drug)
starvin’ me (ooh la la)
deep
what is love? (what is love?)
but a drug (but a drug)
starvin’ me (ooh la la)
deep

verse 2:
you can’t have your cake and eat it to
that might be true for you, for me it’s self*induced
skippin’ breakfast, reckless, just to lose
a couple pounds in the mirror, and i hate the view
got empty plates for empty praise
then i stuff my gut when i’m desolate
from binge to purge i oscillate
there’s a feeling in my stomach that i can’t escape
it’s sick, i’m p*ssed off at this disease
my f*ckin’ appetite is never pleased
i’m trapped in a cage, and i ate the key
does anybody know what to feed this beast?
will i live my life with a body that hates me?
how do i escape when my mind berates me?
a fairy tale ending probably won’t come true
need healing from this feeling, and i feel so blue
verse 3:
i was a boy with a bodybag, habits unhealthy
buried my emotions, couldn’t touch ‘em, no one let me
i learned to push away the things that often upset me
so i guess there’s side effects when depression turns deadly
can count on three fingers all the times i’ve seen my dad cry
first his dad died, then our dog died
then he came home, i didn’t ask why
i wonder how he grew up as a kid, is he traumatized?
that’s the culture, turning men to boys
distracted by success, the women, the new toys
anything to block out the noise, or fill the void
there’s a lot to unpack, at the end you’ll find joy
one day my mom sat me down, said “what’s wrong son?“
i said, “i’m fine,” ‘cause i didn’t want you to worry none
but deep inside it was dark, i didn’t feel loved
i had help in my own home but didn’t share enough
thought ‘bout my funeral, it stopped me in my tracks
went through h*ll and back, i’m still dealin’ with that
self*inflicted wounds, i’ve been stabbed in the back
by my own d*mn fear, as a kid i learned that
couldn’t cry without consequence, hid from the audience
thought that i was weak, but i failed to use common sense
we’re all strangers in the dark, ain’t it obvious?
no one was made to keep their feelings all bottled in
beauty and the beast, to which do we relate?
a misunderstood outcast, desperate for a change
be accepted for herself, despite all of the pain
and learn to live freely, escape from all the shame
beauty and the beast, to which do we relate?
a misunderstood outcast, desperate for a change
be accepted for himself, despite all of the pain
and learn to live freely, escape from all the chains
