She won't live a fairy tale without me.

Like unwavering affection, and an eternal interest in her messed up
little noggin. 

And I hope you see the fool and his girl, 

And I hope your stomach aches with jealousy and 

More heartache---than you'd even deemed possible. 

I hope you run to him and fall to your knees and cry out 

Love me fool! 

And he laughs and walks away. 

That would be befitting of you, for how you've lived and who you've
loved. 

And for rejecting who, at one point, wanted dearly to just look inside
your ear. 

Should the fool reject you, 

And your prince never comes 

And you fear terminal loneliness 

And an absent space at your side, 

I supposed I'd take you. 

I could find love for you, 

Or at least a kind of love that would pass the time 

I'm no prince, but certainly I am no fool. 

So I guess, no matter whatever sadness besets your pretty life, 

Know that I can love you if I try. 

But blow your nose and move on with your life. 

No one cares.
