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 (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) Just don't believe in a tiny hell (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
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 (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) Just don't believe in a tiny hell 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
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
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 Just don't believe in a tiny hell (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 Just don't believe in a tiny hell 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
