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   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   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 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   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 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   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 tales      Used 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
