I've heard many stories
Far too often told
Younger they weren't boring
Not now as I'm old
Tales of happy endings
That's just what they are
Constantly pretending
All you need is a shooting star
I'm sorry I can't be your Prince Charming
It's been so long that I have been starving to be
Like that
I'm sorry my strength fails to deliver
I tried, but now I'm out of your picture
My story's Grimm, but now yours is better
Higher expectations
Than I could bear to be
Endless agitation
'Cause I'm not what you need
All these stories made it
Difficult for me
A knight in shining armor
Is all that you want to see
I'm sorry I can't be your Prince Charming
It's been so long that I have been starving to be
Like that
I'm sorry my strength fails to deliver
I tried, but now I'm out of your picture
My story's Grimm, but now yours is better
You'll still find your happy ending
But perfection, that's pretending
You'll still find your happy ending
But perfection - stop pretending
Stop pretending
I'm sorry I can't be your Prince Charming
It's been so long that I have been starving to be
Like that
I'm sorry my strength fails to deliver
I tried, but now I'm out of your picture
My story's Grimm, but now yours is better
My story's Grimm, but now yours is better
