Once upon a time there was the most fragile little girl
Hurt by the cruel big bad world
You've heard this story before
Epilogues are funny things coming after fake endings
Fooling us that it's the end when we don't truly comprehend
All her dreams turned into nightmares
Thought she'd never leave her despair now
She's awake with eyes unclouded
She sees all the things that she doubted
That girl, she was so foolish, but we already know this
Lost in her dreams she's escaping
Doesn't need some fake prince charming
That girl she doesn't believe anymore
Close the book on this old fairy tale
She stumbled but she got back up again
It's not over, no she didn't fail so then
Fairy Tale Girl, she is turning twenty-four
She'll find out what the whole world has in store
Leaving behind the tears that she cried
She's a new girl and she won't apologize
In her monologue, before long she had reached the epilogue
Now she is still going strong, and she knows she'll carry on
All alone and heartbroken, it left her frazzled and shaken
She lost her smile, she lost her drive
She wept and wept when her feelings died
Flipped through pages in a story book
The poison apple sunk its hook
A gentle heart and a fragile mind, a new purpose she had to find
A victim of aspirations held herself to unreal expectations
Thought they were the things that mattered
She had smiled as she watched it shatter
That girl, she was so foolish, but we already know this
Lost in her dreams she's escaping
Doesn't need some fake prince charming
That girl she doesn't believe anymore
Close the book on this old fairy tale
She stumbled but she got back up again
It's not over, no she didn't fail so then
This is not the end, she will not pretend
You can see that she's not the girl she was back then
Running forward to the river bend she understands
She got lost but she found herself
Rely on just her and no one else
Take the blame for her one mistake, she's deciding her own fate
That girl, she was so foolish, but we already know this
Lost in her dreams she's escaping
Doesn't need some fake prince charming
That girl she doesn't believe anymore
Close the book on this old fairy tale
She stumbled but she got back up again
It's not over, no she didn't fail so then
Fairy Tale Girl, she is turning twenty-four
She'll find out what the whole world has in store
Leaving behind the tears that she cried
She's a new girl and she won't apologize
In her monologue, before long she had reached the epilogue
Now she is still going strong, and she knows she'll carry on
