It was high noon, but the daylight was grayed by the thick clouds. Haniel and Elina were sitting on a wooden swing in the garden of Elina’s home. They were shaded with vines crawling in the styled wooden arc where the swing was hung.
[Intro plays]
“I don’t see any hope for us, Haniel,” said Elina desolately, as she looked down on her simple white dress.
“What are you talking about?” replied Haniel, who was wearing a cheap, plain white polo.
“My father would never approve you…
And he has already betrothed me with some rich bachelor…” continued the lady.
“No! There could still be hope for us…” uttered Haniel.
“Elina?” called a man in a deep and angry voice, “Elina!”
“That’s my father. You must go,” the girl spoke.
“Will we meet again?” Haniel asked in a silent manner.
“No…We are leaving tomorrow,” the girl continued, teary-eyed.
“What!?” said the guy, surprised.
“No!” he continued, “This can’t be our last meeting.”
“Elina?” the angry voice called again.
“You should go…” murmured Elina.
[First Verse]
{Say you’re sorry
That face of an angel
Smiles up so happily at you
As I sang back and forth
All this time
‘Cause I thought that we can make it through}
[First Refrain]
{Holding on, the days drag on
Stupid boy, I should have known,
I should have known}
[Chorus]
{That I’m not a prince and}
Haniel walked away slowly, looking back at Elina, hands in his pockets. He exited the garden through the small, white wooden gate.
{This ain’t a fairytale}
Elina was also looking at Haniel as she remained sitting on the swing.
{I’m not the one to sweep you off your feet
And lead you up the stairwell}
Haniel got on his white horse and gave his last glance at Elina who was already on the stairs to their doorstep. She was also looking back, still teary-eyed.
{This ain’t Hollywood
This is a small town
I was a dreamer before all your hopes went down}
Elina opened and entered the door slowly.
{Now, it’s too late for me and my white horse}
Then, Haniel finally rode away.
{To come around}

{Baby, I was naïve}
Haniel was on his bed asleep, dreaming of himself and Elina, staring at each other’s eyes.
{Got lost in your eyes
And never really had a chance
My mistake, I didn’t know how to be in love}
Haniel woke up and pulled his blanket.
{You had to fight to have the upper hand
I had so many dreams about you and me}
He sat above their house’s roof, observing Elina’s manor.
{Happy endings, now I know}
[Chorus Repeats]
{That I’m not a prince and}
People started coming out of the manor as a white covered horse carriage arrives.
{This ain’t a fairytale}
Haniel slid down the roof, grabbed his coat and pulled it on.
{I’m not the one to sweep you off your feet}
Elina stepped out of the door, ready to leave.
{And lead you up the stairwell
This ain’t Hollywood}
Haniel rode his horse and departed for Elina.
{This is a small town
I was a dreamer before all your hopes went down}
Elina looked back at the road behind nostalgically before getting in the carriage.
{Now, it’s too late for me and my white horse}
The carriage left.
{To come around}
Haniel was racing on his horse to catch up with Elina.
[Interlude]
Elina, sitting on the seat facing backwards, saw Haniel behind.
She ordered the carriage to stop and hurried down from the carriage.
The carriage stopped in front of a short stone bridge above a narrow river.
Haniel dismounted from the horse.
The father, sitting at the opposite of Elina’s previous position, looked behind and also
saw Haniel.
He followed Elina with two armed men who got down from in front of the carriage.
He pulled Elina’s left arm immediately as he reached her and ordered one of the men to
shoot Haniel.
The latter was shot above his center chest.
“Haniel!” shouted Elina as the man tapped his gun.
[Bridge]
{And now I’m down on my knees}
Haniel dropped on his knees and fell on all fours.
{Losing my chances
Crying for thee}
Elina’s dad loosened his grip on her daughter and the latter ran toward Haniel.
{Don’t lose your hope, please
I am sorry}
The latter finally lied his left side down on the ground.
Elina crouched down to check on Haniel.
“Haniel…” she called worriedly.
Elina stood up crying, looked back at her father and told the man to shoot her too.
[Last Chorus]
{I can’t be your prince and}
“No!” cried Haniel despite of pain.
{It’s the end of our fairytale}
Elina stayed and remained sure. She looked at her father.
Her father nodded in compassion, let a tear flow, turned back, and closed his eyes.
“Are you sure, sir?” asked the man.
“Yes,” answered Elina’s father.
Then Elina was shot above the left breast and fell beside Haniel, facing him.
{There will never be a happy day
When I won’t have to bid you farewell}
“Why?” asked Haniel, fighting his tears.
{It’s just a small world
Same as this small town
I’m having a blurred view; it’s all disappearing now}
“It will not be worth living without you,” answered Elina.
{And, it’s too late for me and my white horse
Now, it’s too late for me and my white horse
To catch you now}
“I love you,” Elina continued.
“I love you too,” answered Haniel.
And they tried to kiss each other, their first and last kiss.
{Who-who-ah, I can’t catch you now
Oh…It’s too late…}
And they died when there’s only an inch left between their lips.
{…To catch you now}
