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 page 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
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 fairy as 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
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
Used to believe in love
Used to believe 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
