The First Few Chapters Lyrics

If I could leave this world,
I'd wrap myself in your surreal divinity,
and wouldn't that be grand?
If I threw away my sorrow,
and let you press your rosy lips against my icy cheek,
would that be alright?
If I moved away and never wrote you letters,
would that make you cry?
If I could catch a shooting star,
and put it in a bottle for you,
would you fall in love with me?

Would it be to much for me to ask you to stay,
at least for the first few chapters?
Would it make your day if I were your knight,
and we rode away on my glimmering white stallion?
But I am not Prince Charming.
I can't make your dreams come dreams come true.
Is it still a fairy tale
without "happily ever after"?

If your beauty took my breath away,
and led me to my suffocation,
would that break your heart?
If I could give you all you ever wanted,
would that be enough?

Would be to much for me to ask you to stay,
at least for the first few chapters?
Would it make your day if I were your knight,
and we rode away on my glimmering white stallion?
But I am not Prince Charming.
I can't make your dreams come true.
Is it still a fairy tale
without "happily ever after"?
I am not Prince Charming.
I can't make your dreams come true.
Is it still a fairy tale
without "happily ever after"?

Is it still a fairy tale
without "happily ever after"?

would that be enough?

Is it still a fairy tale 
without "happily ever after"?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
