Knight in Shining Armor

Fairy tale endings never work it seems.

In the end the hero doesn't always get the girl,

and it's never what's meant to be. 

Even if he went through hell to save the world...

The knight in shining armor...ain't me.

 

He puts up an act like he'll save the day.

He always makes you feel some kind of way.

At the end of the day he just shatters your dreams,

but I'll be there to help you pick it up piece by piece.

Because that knight in shining armor ain't me.

 

No matter what you're fighting, I'll be there.

Whatever happens, even if you've broken me,

I'll stand beside you, not in front of or behind I swear.

I'll be there to be whatever you need.

Because that knight in shining armor...ain't  me.

 

He puts up an act like he'll save the day.

He always makes you feel some kind of way.

At the end of the day he just shatters your dreams,

but I'll be there to help you pick it up piece by piece.

Because that knight in shining armor ain't me.

 

I ain't the one who will run away from a fight.

I'm the one who will stand by your side.

A coward who hides is someone I'll never be.

In the end I'll be whatever you need.

I hope you see...

That knight in shining armor...ain't me.

 

He puts up an act like he'll save the day.

He always makes you feel some kind of way.

At the end of the day he just shatters your dreams,

but I'll be there to help you pick it up piece by piece.

Because that knight in shining armor ain't me.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A knight in shining armor is fake. I'll never be fake. I am only me. A knight in shining armor can never be me. I'm the only me there is. I may be beat up, bruised, and broken physically, mentally, and emotionally...but I'd shrug all of that off to help those i love. The devil himself could stand between us, and I'd fight him for it. As long as I'm given a chance.
