cynical fairytale [explicit] - egg

i'm really proud of these lyrics but if i'm being honest i'm not a huge fan of how the sound came out :/ my ukulele playing always sounds a little off because i don't really know how to play nicely and this song is HARD to sing because i'm dumb and i left literally no room to breathe between lyrics but anyway y'all aren't here to listen to me vent about feeling incompetent lmao

here are the lyrics:

in this isolated tower
in the middle of nowhere
it gets a little lonely
but i don't let down my hair
cause close relationships are far more stressful than they seem
i'd rather face reality than chase a silly dream

mother knows best,
she claims to know the future
i'll fall in love,
live happily ever after with my suitor
to be honest i'd prefer avoiding all the hassle
im fine inside my tower, really, i don't need a castle, so

fuck love, i don't understand it
18 years with no luck, i feel stranded
drifting through the water, i just wanna see the light
but the fog is awfully stubborn and the feeling's never right

fuck love, really what's the purpose
other than to make me feel uncomfortable and nervous
overthinking every single thing i wanna say
will it make you think i'm stupid, will it make you run away
oh
fuck love x2

i guess i always figured
that i'd be in love now
so i try to force my feelings,
hoping it'll work somehow
my friends all have their princes and i'm feeling left behind
will i ever understand or will i always be this blind?

mother knows best,
she tells me not to worry
just wait a couple years
and love will find me in a hurry
but honestly it's looking like the odds are pretty slim
given that flynn rider's out there, i'd probably reject him

fuck love, i don't understand it
18 years with no luck, i feel stranded
drifting through the water, i just wanna see the light
but the fog is awfully stubborn and the feeling's never right

fuck love, really what's the purpose
other than to make me feel uncomfortable and nervous
overthinking every single thing i wanna say
will it make you think i'm stupid, will it make you run away
oh
fuck love x5

and i keep wondering and wondering
but this is how it's always been
i've spent all these years alone
not letting anybody in
and i keep wondering and wondering
and wondering and wondering
when will my life begin?

mother knows best
and she claims to know the future
i'll fall in love,
live happily ever after with my suitor
and if i'm being honest well it doesn't sound that bad
but i blew the only shot at that i think i ever had so

fuck love
i don't even deserve it
i've tried my best but still i'm far from perfect
watching from the windows wishing i could feel the same
but my feelings are defective, i guess i'm the one to blame

oh, fuck love
go ahead, call me a cynic
but a happy ending is so unrealistic
what's the point in trying if i know it won't work out
and i'll earn a broken heart that i'd be better off without
oh
fuck love x5
