lyrics

once upon a time, there lived a little girl
so scared of herself she made up her whole world
she was lost and she wanted to be found
but her cries for help never made a sound

so she played the role of a damsel in distress
tied up her own ropes over her blue dress
all she ever wanted was to be felt sorry for
but once it's open, it's so hard to close that door

she's a masterful storyteller
weaving her words together like no one else before
and you are just a pawn without a name
trapped in her endless games
and you'll believe them all, and feel so small

so now this little girl, she knew how to make her mark
she gathered up the crowds, embracing every heart
they fed right out of her hands
and it grew larger than she ever planned

yeah our damsel knew she was in over her head
but she had so much to lose, so she cried harder instead
it made an avalanche of tragedy
and one by one, the hearts she touched began to see

that she's a masterful storyteller
weaving her words together like no one else before
and you are just a pawn without a name
trapped in her endless games
and you'll believe them all, and feel so small

what will you do when everybody says goodbye?
what will you do when everybody learns you lied?
why...

she's a masterful storyteller
weaving her words together like no one else before
but we've grown stronger through all the pain
trapped in her endless games
now her story's done, oh yes we won
