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

{Refrain:}
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)
I 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

Is a good story supposed to end
Unhappily ever after
Just as wonderful as it begins
And carry on for a few chapters
Then 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

{au Refrain}

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

{au Refrain, x2}
