Not Your Fairytale
From Michael Mott's 2017 album "Abandoned Heart", this mid-tempo pop hit is a break-up song from the perspective of a girl who finally abandons her unrealistic expectations of a happily-ever-after storybook ending. Sleek and modern, the arrangement is mostly full choir interspersed with short solo moments, including a longer lead over the final chorus.
Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/1 Tbn/Alto & Tenor Sax

In the storybook, you were Mr. Right In the storybook you came and saved my life Now the mystery of who was right and wrong Is ancient history--say goodbye, so long Thought there'd be a hero but the myth ain't right Where's the shining armor and the brave white knight Every time I'm with you, boy, it's fight or flight So I gotta ride into the warm sunlight Leave me or love me Boy, will ya stop thinkin' of me? Quit hangin' bait right above me Because I'm not your fairytale You say that you want it 'Cause what I got is hypnotic But boy, you actin' psychotic And I am not your fairytale In the storybook, we were meant to be In the storybook, I loved you endlessly It's a miracle the bend became the break It's satirical -- you better learn from your mistake! Leave me or love me Boy, will ya stop thinkin' of me? Quit hangin' bait right above me Because I'm not your fairytale You say that you want it 'Cause what I got is hypnotic But boy, you actin' psychotic And I am not your fairytale I'm dancin' on the edge of something new Living in my own world without you I got my crystal ball and I can see Looking through the eyes of what can be Oh, you better leave me! Leave me or love me Boy, will ya stop thinkin' of me? Quit hangin' bait right above me Because I'm not your fairytale! (Michael Mott)
