Remember when we all believed in happily ever afters,
And Prince Charming was sure to come one day?
When friends were everywhere you looked?
When it didn’t matter what you wore or how your hair looked?
Don’t you wish you could go back?
Because now, happily ever after is a dream, a fantasy.
Prince Charming is taken, while you’re invisible to him.
Friends are scarce and there are more teasers and taunters.
Wrongs clothes or hair and you’re shunned, perhaps forever.
Don’t you wish you could go back?
