fairy tales lyrics

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 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

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 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

I don't believe in much, I need help 

Don't know which way to turn I 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 

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 

I don't believe in much, I need help I don't believe in much

Don't know which way to turn 

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 as fairy tales there's no such thing as fairy tales

Used to believe in love 

Used to believe fairy tales la da da da

Since my heart's been crushed 

I don't believe in much, I need help 

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 as fairy tales
