Picket Fences
                                                Bainbridge/McAlister
                                                        
Verse
I bit the poison apple,
there was no prince the morning after
like I grew up thinking there would be.
I wanted someone to adore me,
take out the trash, be there for me,
I thought love was like what's on T.V.
Dreams aren't one size fits all,
tear 'em down and watch 'em fall.

Chorus
Kicking down picket fences,
ripping up all the senseless
cinderella stories we've been fed along the way.
Growing out of paper doll dreams,
I'm ready for the real thing
I'm gonna start building it today,
with no more picket fences in my way.

Verse
Looking over my breakups,
no way any man could match up
with that perfect picture in my head.
So my magazines I burned 'em,
the rules I unlearned 'em,
I'm breaking myself free from this web.
cause I don't wanna be penned in...
I won't let it happen again.

Chorus
Kicking down picket fences,
ripping up all the senseless
cinderella stories we've been fed along the way.
Growing out of paper doll dreams,
I'm ready for the real thing
I'm gonna start building it today,
I'm running free and there's sunlight on my face
cause there's no more picket fences in my way.

Outro
I bit the poison apple,
there was no prince the morning after
like I grew up thinking there would be......
