(Self) Love Story

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

We're so young when we first hear stories

Of falling in love and happy endings

Unaware that fairy tales ain't always fair

All the lies, the fighting, the fallouts

You're someone who stands out in the crowd

Yet here you are, with another broken heart

'Cause he was just another disappointment

And my dad always said to me that there's no point in

Crying over someone willing to let you go

He said: Juliet trust me you'll be better off alone

Stop waiting for somebody else's love

Don't need a prince when you're already a queen

Write your own story where baby you are the lead

You sneak down to the kitchen, it's dark out

'Cause ice cream always heals a broken heart

Don't dry your eyes

Just be sad for a little while

And I promise you that it will get better

And my dad always said to me that time's a healer

Pain doesn't last forever, you'll let them go

And he said: Juliet trust me you'll be better off alone

Stop waiting for somebody else's love

Don't need a prince when you're already a queen

Write your own story where baby you are the lead

Juliet trust me, I won't tell you how to feel

Love is difficult, this hurt is real

But don't be afraid to set yourself free and

Write your own story

Just stop with the self hating

'Cause I can see it's keeping you down

Your faith in love is fading

But someone else is coming around

And they'll say: Juliet trust me I know that you've been alone

I'll be here when you're ready for someone

Don't need a prince when you're already a queen

Got your own story, you're making history

Juliet choose me

I think you could be the one

I'll be your future, if that's what you want

I'm not a prince but I'd treat you like queen

Write our own story the way you want it to be

Oh, and you can still be the lead

It's never too late to write your story
