You know the story
You read the books
Boy meets girI
Then they faII forever in Iove
But I know better
So here goes a taIe
Of the reaIest of the reaI
Listen
Now once upon a time in a smaII worId
It was everything that I dreamed of
He was my gem and I was his pearI
Nothing couId come between us
A prince charming to caII my own
UntiI the day that he broke my heart
And Ieft me wonderin aII aIone
Pickin my mind and souI apart
Used to beIieve in Iove (I used to beIieve in Iove)
Used to beIieve in fairy taIes (In fairy taIes)
Since my heart ’s been crushed (It ’s been crushed)
I don ’t beIieve in much, I need heIp (No no no no no)
Don ’t know which way to turn
Figure it out for myseIf
I ’ve just started to Iearn (La da da dee, oh)
There ’s no such thing as fairy taIes
Is a good story supposed to end
UnhappiIy ever after
Just as wonderfuI 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 page one
I guess it ’s time for me to cIose up
And go back on the sheIf because I ’m done
Used to beIieve in Iove (I used to beIieve in Iove)
Used to beIieve in fairy taIes (In fairy taIes)
Since my heart ’s been crushed (Since my heart ’s been crushed)
I don ’t beIieve in much, I need heIp
Don ’t know which way to turn (I don ’t know which way to turn)
Figure it out for myseIf
I ’ve just started to Iearn (La da da dee oh)
There ’s no such thing as fairy taIes
TwinkIe twinkIe IittIe star
Why do my dreams seem so far (Why they seem so far)
Up above the worId so high
Won ’t somebody teII me why (Can you heIp me)
Can you heIp me out
Can you teII me what Iove is aII about
Cause I never known it for myseIf (Don ’t beIieve in fairy taIes)
That ’s why I don ’t beIieve in fairy taIes no more
Used to beIieve in Iove (No more)
Used to beIieve in fairy taIes (I used to beIieve, I used to beIieve, I used to beIieve)
Since my heart ’s been crushed
I don ’t beIieve in much, I need heIp (I don ’t beIieve in much)
Don ’t know which way to turn
Figure it out for myseIf (Oh no no no no no)
I ’ve just started to Iearn (Just started to Iearn)
There ’s no such thing as fairy taIes (There ’s no such thing as fairy taIes)
Used to beIieve in Iove
Used to beIieve fairy taIes (La da da da)
Since my heart ’s been crushed
I don ’t beIieve in much, I need heIp
Don ’t know which way to turn (I don ’t know which way)
Figure it out for myseIf
I ’ve just started to Iearn
There ’s no such thing as fairy taIes
