Lyrics to her original song:

This Isn’t Fiction By Jaeda McPherson 2017

ACMF National Songwriting Competition 2017

Show me what you mean, show me anything

‘Cause I’m not listening anymore

You are killing me anytime you say

A single word (a single word)

And I have tried to forget your

Pretty little lies

But it’s getting harder and harder as I look into

Your eyes, ‘cause you don’t understand

That this isn’t fiction; it’s not one of your storybooks

So, there is no reason to act like Peter Pan when you’re clearly Captain Hook

This isn’t fiction; it’s not one of your fairytales

And I’m not your princess

And I never was

I bet you can’t list the names of all the girls you’ve “known”

‘Cause from my point of view the list goes on and on

(And on and on and on and on)

And I’ve been a good girl and I’ve stayed home

But where did that end me up ‘cause now I’m all alone

I guess I didn’t understand

That this isn’t fiction; it’s not one of your storybooks

So, there is no reason to act like Peter Pan when you’re clearly Captain Hook

This isn’t fiction; it’s not one of your fairytales

And I’m not your princess

And I never was

You know that I waited for you

And I thought I was safe but that’s untrue

And I waited for you

I discovered the truth

That this isn’t fiction; it’s not one of your fairytales

There is no princess, no wedding dress or even a veil

This isn’t fiction; it’s not one of your storybooks

And I was just dreamin’, there’s no happy endin’, you’re just a crook

This isn’t fiction; it’s not one of your storybooks

So, there is no reason to act like Peter Pan when you’re clearly Captain Hook

This isn’t fiction; it’s not one of your fairytales

And I’m not your princess

And I never was

This isn’t fiction it’s not one of your fairytales

And I was once your princess but I’ll never tell
