once upon a fairytale i sat up in my grand castle
where magic bloomed and imagination ran free
now i dig my brain for words, don't understand the hassle
no more pictures in my brain, nothing new appears to me
i sit and wonder, where's my happily ever after

because once upon a few years ago, i could just let go
and the world would fall away, i'm in my special place
where masterpieces drifted, sadness and black was lifted
get lost for hours and i don't want to find my way
day dream my life away

i cant see the future and the past is kinda gone
but put me in today and i got no clue whats going on
so find me in my own world, where i used to have a clue
but then reality interfered, and everything faded blue
now let me get back, lose myself again
let me seep into the world of paper and pen

because once upon a few years ago i could just let go
and the world would fall away, im in my special place
where masterpieces drifted, sadness and black was lifted
get lost for hours and i dont want to find my way
day dream my life away

once upon a time is every girl's favorite line
cause it means a happy ending's on the way
and eventually there will be light
but slip into reality and dreariness is all you'll see
imaginations starts to slip away
and theres no ending at all in sight

but once upon a few years ago i could just let go
and the world would fall away, im in my special place
where masterpieces drifted, sadness and black was lifted
get lost for hours and i dont want to find my way
day dream my life away

ooh once upon a few years ago i could just let go
and the world would fall away, im in my special place
where masterpieces drifted, sadness and black was lifted
get lost for hours and i dont want to find my way
day dream my life away
