I had such a beautiful fairytale in you
But I closed the book today,
who believes in fairytales anyway...
I've been here before
I should've known better
who would have thought some lessons can't be taught in experience...
A little voice inside of me screamed,
as if closing the book ended the life of that little dream,
A piece of me died today,
but I closed the book anyway...
I'd give anything to know you again
what a silly thing to hope for.
I know better,
I should've known better.
Your tall tale will kill me.
whoever she is will finish the story ...
my heart is already breaking piece by piece for your happiness.
I tried you,
I failed you,
what an attempt I made...
But who are you anymore,
a fairytale is more believable to me these days...
I'll give myself all the credit for our demise,
this story won't be told for the children,
a story such as this makes no headlines in once upon a time,
so here's one for the tabloids...
I thought we'd break the mold
I thought I had it down, I mastered my needs...
but that day will most likely never come for me...
Here's to a story no one will ever tell
and here's the ending I know so well...
take your story and move on with another big adventure...
I won't worry that I was never good enough,
I made history with this love,
you'll never fully know it's extent, to my own credit.
This day marks the end of you and me,
It's a day that will be written in my history
and I will never forget you for you who you could'nt be,
now you're just once upon a time to me...
