Fairy Tales Lyrics

You know the story
You read the books
Boy meets girl
And they fall forever in love
But I know better
So here goes a tale
To the realest of the real
ListenNow 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 apartUsed to believe in love
Used to believe in fairy tales
Since my heart's been crushed
Don't believe in much, I need help

Don't know which way to turn
I'll figure it out for myself
I'm just starting to learn
There's no such thing as fairy talesIs 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 doneUsed to believe in love
Used to believe in fairy tales
Since my heart's been crushed
Don't believe in much, I need help
Don't know which way to turn
I'll figure it out for myself
I'm just starting to learn
There's no such thing as fairy talesTwinkle, 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 moreUsed to believe in love
Used to believe in fairy tales
Since my heart's been crushed
Don't believe in much, I need help
Don't know which way to turn
I'll figure it out for myself
I'm just starting to learn
There's no such thing as fairy talesUsed to believe in love
Used to believe fairy tales
Since my heart's been crushed
Don't believe in much not even hell
Don't know which way to turn
I'll figure it out for myself
I'm just starting to learn
There's no such thing as fairy tales
