What if I never knew true love\'s touch?
An illusion, a hope, a wish, a dream to clutch.
Maybe that\'s why hearts broke, tears fell.
I projected a love that wasn\'t real.
Hoping you felt the same, but it was all in vain.
I yearned for white dresses, vows to bind,
But in today\'s world, marriages leave much unaligned.
I thought I\'d find my Prince, my heart\'s desire,
But that romantic tale, it\'s not my story, my fire.
I don\'t know if I\'ve ever truly loved,
Or if those feelings were just an illusion.
Maybe I was falling, hoping you were too,
But maybe it was just a love I projected onto you.
The stories lied to me, fairytales untold.
There\'s no happily ever after, no Prince Charming, no happily ever old.
I\'m not Cinderella, Belle or Rapunzel too.
I\'m me, and my story is one of love I never knew.
I dreamed of marriage, the ideals, the bliss,
But if I can\'t say I love you, then how can I say I do?
I\'m not sure I want marriage anymore.
I\'m not even sure I\'ve ever known love\'s true form.
So I\'ll wait for a love that\'s real and true.
One that I feel in my bones, right through.
No more projecting, no more hoping and wishing.
I\'ll know love when love knows me.
And maybe in time, I\'ll find the one.
When I do, then I\'ll say \"I do\" to someone.
But until then, I\'ll search and I\'ll wait.
For a love that\'s the truth, a love that\'s the fate.
