Dreamer Quote by Taylor Swift
“Say you're sorry That face of an angel Comes out just when you need it to As I paced back and forth all this time 'Cause I honestly believed in you Holding on The days drag on Stupid girl, I should have known, I should have known That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet, Lead her up the stairwell This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town, I was a dreamer before you went and let me down Now it's too late for you And your white horse, to come around Baby I was naive, Got lost in your eyes And never really had a chance My mistake I didn't know to be in love You had to fight to have the upper hand I had so many dreams About you and me Happy endings Now I know”
