You know the story

You read the books

Boy meets girl

Then they fall forever in love

But I know better

So here goes a tale

Of the realest of the real

Listen


Now once upon a time in a small world

It was everything that I dreamed of

He was my gem and I was his pearl

Nothing could come between us

A prince charming to call my own

Until the day that he broke my heart

And left me wonderin all alone

Pickin my mind and soul apart


Used to believe in love

Used to believe in fairy tales

Since my heart's been crushed

I don't believe in much, I need help

Don't know which way to turn

Figure it out for myself

I've just started to learn

There's no such thing as fairy tales


Is a good story supposed to end

Unhappily ever after

Just as wonderful as it begins

And carry on for a few chapters

Baby how come each time I open up

I can't seem to get past stage one

I guess it's time for me to close up

And go back on the shelf because I'm done


Twinkle twinkle little star

Why do my dreams seem so far

Up above the world so high

Won't somebody tell me why

Can you help me out

Can you tell me what love is all about

Cause I never known it for myself

That's why I don't believe in fairy tales no more
