He came in the night
Hearing the wish you did plead
Your knight in shining armor
High atop his white steed

His armor did shine
With a pleasing white light
As visions of hope
Filled the lonely dark night

Features so striking
But gentle and smooth
The warmth of his smile
Of his gallantry it did prove

He vowed to protect you
To vanquish any foe
His loyalty and honor
Unlike any you’ll ever know

You took his strong hand
And he swept you away
Bold and flamboyant
In that old world way

You’re now his fairytale princess
But his love on you he did not shower
Now trapped like the poor maiden
Who had been locked in the tower  

Unhappily ever after
You now live a storybook life
You fell for his deceitful facade
And now you’re his prisoner and wife

He protects by controlling
He’s violent and cruel
To believe in real life fairytales
Has made you look like a fool

So be careful what you wish for
Sometimes they may come true
But they may not always turn out
