Fairy Tales

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Used to believe in love (I used to believe in love)

Used to believe in fairy tales (In fairy tales)

Since my heart's been crushed (It's been crushed)

Don't believe in much, I need help (No no no no no)

Don't know which way to turn

Figure it out for myself

I've just started to learn (La da da dee, oh)

There's no such thing as fairy tales

[Verse 2]

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 page one

I guess it's time for me to close up

And go back on the shelf because I'm done

[Chorus]

Used to believe in love (I used to believe in love)

Used to believe in fairy tales (In fairy tales)

Since my heart's been crushed (Since my heart's been crushed)

Don't believe in much, I need help

Don't know which way to turn (I don't know which way to turn)

Figure it out for myself

I've just started to learn (La da da dee oh)

There's no such thing as fairy tales

[Bridge]

Twinkle twinkle little star

Why do my dreams seem so far (Why they seem so far)

Up above the world so high

Won't somebody tell me why (Can you help me)

Can you help me out

Can you tell me what love is all about

Cause I never known it for myself (Don't believe in fairy tales)

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

[Chorus]

Used to believe in love (No more)

Used to believe in fairy tales (I used to believe, I used to believe, I used to believe)

Since my heart's been crushed

Don't believe in much, I need help (I don't believe in much)

Don't know which way to turn

Figure it out for myself (Oh no no no no no)

I've just started to learn (Just started to learn)

There's no such thing as fairy tales (There's no such thing as fairy tales)

Used to believe in love

Used to believe fairy tales (La da da da)

Since my heart's been crushed

Don't believe in much, I need help

Don't know which way to turn (I don't know which way)

Figure it out for myself

I've just started to learn

There's no such thing as fairy tales
