No More Fairy Tales

Jack and Jill went up the hill, But it wasn’t for a fairy tale thrill. It was pain, it was hurt, a story untold, A love gone cold, and a heart on hold. [Verse 1] Jack held a bottle like a crown in his hand, While Jill tried to build a life in the sand. Every promise he made crumbled like dust, Every “sorry” she heard shattered her trust. He’d rage through the night, and she’d hide her tears, Dreaming of a life free from the fears. [Chorus] Up the hill, they tried to climb, But they kept falling every time. Love ain’t enough when it’s laced with pain, You can’t build a life in the pouring rain. [Verse 2] Jill found out she was carrying life, But Jack’s sharp words cut like a knife. He said, “We can’t do this; it’ll never work out,” And left her drowning in a sea of doubt. He dragged her up that hill, cold as stone, Made her feel like she was all alone. [Chorus] Up the hill, they tried to climb, But they kept falling every time. Love ain’t enough when it’s laced with pain, You can’t build a life in the pouring rain. [Bridge] She looked at the stars, weighed down by grief, Carrying a loss that offered no relief. The life they erased haunted her soul, Jack’s cruel words had taken their toll. In the silence of the night, she made a stand, With trembling fingers and a steady hand. [Verse 3] One quiet night, while Jack was asleep, Jill found the strength that had buried so deep. Years of his anger, years of his control, Led her to this moment to reclaim her soul. One loud sound, then the room went still, Jack was gone, and Jill found her will. [Chorus: Reprise] Up the hill, they tried to climb, But they kept falling every time. Love ain’t enough when it’s laced with pain, You can’t build a life in the pouring rain. [Outro] Jack and Jill went up the hill, But Jill came down with her own will. No more shadows, no more chains, She walked away from the pouring rain.
