And I don’t believe in fairy tales

Once upon a time
Or so the stories go
Girl meets boy
Boy meets girl
And feelings start to flow

In fairy tales it all works out
And love can conquer all
When “happily ever after”
Can catch you when you fall

But I don’t believe in fairy tales
Where true love saves the day
I just can’t believe in fairy tales
’cause life gets in the way

You might say that I’m a cynic
Or that I’m jaded to the core
It’s just that I’ve been all around
Been down that road before

Not saying it can’t happen
It often does in dreams
But then you must wake up again
And nothing’s as it seems

So I don’t believe in fairy tales
Though I want to believe in fate
If something’s meant to happen
Perhaps we simply have to wait
For planets to align themselves
And dreams that dare come true
But I don’t believe in fairy tales
Do you?
