A/N: Prequel to Eighteen and Famous. Thought you guys wanted to know the whole background story, and I wanted an excuse to write a songfic. Ha-ha. :)
Say you're sorry
That face of an angel
Comes out just when you need it to
Ihateyouihateyouihateyou.
Alex Russo slumped against the plush pink fur wallpaper. She was just fifteen, not quite as grown up as she thought she was. Why? Why? Why?
Should she even bother asking? She knew the answer.
And I paced back and forth all this time
Cause I honestly believed in you
She should have known. After all, he was hot commodity these days.
All the signs were there.
Holding on
And days drag on
Stupid girl,
I should have known, I should have known
The flirting,
The constant disappearing act at events.
The rumors. Or rather, the cold hard truth.
[Chorus]
That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell
"That's right Alex; you're a big superstar aren't you?"
She sniffed.
"Nice seeing how it's worked out."
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town,
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
It was too late to regret of course,
All the damage was done.
Done. The word resounded in her mind.
Now it's too late for you
And your white horse, to come around
Baby I was naive,
Got lost in your eyes
And never really had a chance
He was so gorgeous, his dark caramel eyes.
His curly short hair.
The very same that had caught her eye the very first time they met.
I had so many dreams
About you and me
Happy endings
Now I know
They were perfect,
Everyone said so.
She thought so.
He claimed so.
Wonderful ending.
Just like a bloody fairytale.
[Chorus]
I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town,
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you
And your white horse, to come around
Alex stood up, brushing tears away from her cheeks.
The door slammed.
"Hey babe…"
Here you are your sitting there
Begging for forgiveness, begging for me
Just like I always wanted but I'm sooo sorry
"What did I do?"
Nate couldn't even finish his sentence before Alex sent a tight slap across his face.
"I want the truth. Now."
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Try and catch me now
Oh, it's too late
To catch me now
