Fairy Tales

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 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 and figure it out for myself
I've just started to learn (la-da-da-dee, oh)
There's no such thing in fairy tales (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
And figure it out for myself (I don't know which way to turn)
I've just started to learn (la-da-da-dee, oh)
There's no such thing in 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
And 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 in fairy tales (there's no such thing in 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 in fairy tales (oh, no such thing in fairy tales)

Used to believe in love
Used to believe in fairy tales
