Ophelia

She makes believe the world is kind
And she's immune to its lies
In a perfect world she can be free
But a perfect world will never be

Little did she know Ophelia
The fairytale was wrong, the treasures were all gone
And everything wasn't how it should be
Little did she know Ophelia
The melody was wrong with an ordinary song
And she didn't know how it was meant to be

And she assumed the perfect pose
To guarantee that no one would know
She hears bells inside her pretty head
To mask what she won't hear instead

And little did she know Ophelia
The fairytale was wrong and the treasures were all gone
And everything wasn't how it should be
Little did we know Ophelia
The innocence was gone but the memories are strong
And we didn't know how you were meant to be
