Lyrics
My Once Upon a Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Here you are alone, and you deserve it
Your friends have turned to stone
And that's on you
You had a cause to serve but did you serve it?
Or did you see yourself in a way that wasn't true?
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 cannot build a castle
On a mountain made of sand
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
Goes once upon a time
She fought a dragon
Once upon a time
That 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
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
They'll say: Once upon a time
A girl flew higher
Once upon a time
She made things right
Once upon a time that finds
She changed her heart
To change their minds
That's got to be my once upon a time
This once upon a time
I finally see my once upon a time
This time
