(Verse 1)
Here you are alone, and you deserve it
Your friends have turned to stone
And that’s on you
You had a cost to serve but did you serve it?
Or did you see yourself in a way that wasn’t true?
(Verse 2)
Why tell all those lies?
You feel unworthy
Like there isn’t solid ground for you to stand
But a sack of lies is not a firm foundation
You can not build a castle on a mountain made of sand
(Pre-Chorus 1)
This is not your father’s fairytale
And no, it’s not your mother’s fault you fail
So when your story comes to light
Make sure the story that they write
(Chorus 1)
Goes once upon a time she fought a dragon
Once upon a time the beast was me
Once upon a misspent youth
She faced herself
She spoke the truth
That’s how I see my once upon a time
This time
(Verse 3)
Life is not a storybook but life unfolds in chapters
Turn the page and start to make amends
There’s no pre-written guarantee of «Happily ever after»
Step into your greatness before your story ends
So when your story ends
(Chorus 3)
They’ll say once upon a time a girl flew higher
Once upon a time she made things right
Once upon a time that binds
She changed her heart
To change their minds
That’s got to be my once upon a time
(Outro)
This once upon a time
We’ll finally see my once upon a time
This time
