Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Say you're sorry
That face of an angel
Comes out just when you need it to
As I paced back and forth all this time
'Cause I honestly believed in you
[Verse 2]
Holding on
The days drag on
Stupid girl
I should've known
I should've known
[Verse 3]
That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairytale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you and your white horse to come around
[Verse 4]
Maybe I was naïve
Got lost in your eyes
And never really had a chance
Well, my mistake
I didn't know to be in love
You had to fight to have the upper hand
[Verse 5]
I had so many dreams about you and me
Happy endings
Well, now I know
[Verse 6]
That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairytale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you and your white horse to come around
[Verse 7]
And there you are on your knees
Begging for forgiveness, begging for me
Just like I always wanted, but I'm so sorry...
[Verse 8]
'Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't our fairytale
I'm gonna find someone someday
Who might actually treat me well
This is a big world, that was a small town
There in my rearview mirror, disappearing now
And it's too late for you and your white horse
Now it's too late for you and your white horse to catch me now
[Verse 9]
Oh
Try and catch me now
Oh
It's too late to catch me now
