[Intro] [Pop Ballad Intro]
(Acoustic guitar strumming, soft synth pads)
Oh-oh-oh, it's a love story, baby, just not the one you're thinking of

[Verse 1] [Storytelling]
Packed my bags, left my hometown dreams behind
Chasing a life I saw in glossy magazines, you know the kind
Thought I found my Romeo, on a midnight drive
He had the vintage car, the smoldering gaze, kept me alive

[Pre-Chorus] [Building Emotion]
But darling, the script started to flip
The fairytale began to slip, bit by bit
He whispered sweet nothings, then let them all go
Now I'm left here wondering, where did the love flow?

[Chorus] [Catchy Pop Hook]
This ain't a love story, it's a cautionary tale
About the promises that break and the hearts that quail
I'm writing my own chapter, on a different page
No more waiting for a prince to calm my rage

[Verse 2] [Specific Details]
Remember that scarf? Yeah, he probably lost it somewhere
Or maybe he's wearing it, like he doesn't care
Said we'd be forever, under stars so bright
But forever turned to never, in the pale moonlight

[Pre-Chorus] [Building Emotion]
And darling, the plot took a wicked turn
A lesson in love I had to learn
He said "it's me or the highway," a classic line
Now the highway's looking pretty good, and I'm feeling fine

[Chorus] [Catchy Pop Hook]
This ain't a love story, it's a cautionary tale
About the promises that break and the hearts that quail
I'm writing my own chapter, on a different page
No more waiting for a prince to calm my rage

[Bridge] [Empowerment]
I built my own castle, brick by lonely brick
Learned to love the silence, and the moments that stick
No more damsel in distress, I'm the queen of my domain
And this story's got a happy ending, through sunshine and rain

[Chorus] [Catchy Pop Hook]
This ain't a love story, it's a cautionary tale
About the promises that break and the hearts that quail
I'm writing my own chapter, on a different page
No more waiting for a prince to calm my rage

[Outro] [Fading Out]
[Synth fades, acoustic guitar returns]
Yeah, a different page... it's my story now.
Oh-oh-oh, no more fairytale.
[Guitar strums fade out]
