You're so beautiful
it's like you s h i n e
surrounded by stage lights
in a play where no one else

Can ever compare to you.

You are the golden child
you shimmer && sparkle
in your perfect world.

Everything you want
it seems to land at your feet
&& you can't ever comprehend
not getting your own way
because you always do.

Until you meet him that is
he's dark && dangerous
&& unpredictable

&& just maybe you find that
exciting.

You're like two characters
in an u n w r i t t e n play
you're the beautiful princess
&& he's the bad guy.

The stage lights are on you
because you don't know
where this will take you

maybe you just don't care
because he c a p t i v a t e s you.

He never backs down
&& he won't give you everything you want
but he's everything you need.

Maybe your pulse races
&& your heart seems to f l u t t e r
when he catches your eye
because there's something in that look

That makes you weak at the knees.

So maybe there are times
he drives you completely insane
&& sometimes you hate the way
that all he has to do is smile
&& you fall in love with him all over again.

You know people are a little shocked
because you're the golden girl
so surely you should be dating Prince Charming

Instead of the Black Knight.

Maybe you are star crossed lovers
but whilst you might be a Juliet
he is hardly Romeo
&& their story ended in t r a g e d y.

So you don't think about that
you think about him
about the both of you.

You just don't care anymore
about being the golden girl
because when he wraps you in his arms

It's as though you are wrapped in s t a r l i g h t.

So maybe your both living
in a play that is unwritten
&& you're high up on the stage
the s p o t l i g h t trained on you

Just waiting for one of you
to forget your lines.

But the beauty is
that you are not a cliché
&& your story has not been written yet.

So step away from the stage lights
there is nothing for you to live up to
just let your love burn b r i g h t l y

To show others the way.
