Lyrics Fairy Tales

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 wondering 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
Just don't believe in a tiny hell
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

Used to believe in love
Used to believe in fairy tales
Since my heart's been crushed
Just don't believe in a tiny hell
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

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

Used to believe in love
Used to believe in fairy tales
Since my heart's been crushed
Just don't believe in a tiny hell
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

Used to believe in love
Used to believe fairy tales
Since my heart's been crushed
Just don't believe in a tiny hell
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
