[Verse 1]

Just a little girl from Oklahoma

Reading Juliet and Romeo, yeah

Didn't think love could exist

If they don't die in the end

So I settled down with Jack and soda

Turned myself into a Casanova

Black out, end with a kiss

Add another one to the list


[Pre-Chorus]

I still sleep with all the lights on

Wait until it goes wrong

Never thought I'd write another love song


[Chorus]

Monsters, creeping into my head

Say I don't deserve this

Grew up so afraid of all these bedtime stories

Read them like a warning

Forever wasn't for me

'Til I met you


[Verse 2]

Never worn a dress like Cinderella

Locked in a tower all by myself, yeah

Wasn't looking to be saved

But damn, I'm in love with your face

Guess I'm afraid of falling right out

Way up here, it's a long way down

I don't wanna let you down, let you down, let me down


[Pre-Chorus]

I still sleep with all the lights on

Wait until it goes wrong

Never thought I'd write another love song


[Chorus]

Monsters, creeping into my head

Say I don't deserve this

Grew up so afraid of all these bedtime stories

Read them like a warning

Forever wasn't for me

'Til I met you
