Once Upon a Time by Rhymes with lawyer Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am a girl who has never been in love
I haven't found the one who stands out from the rest
But I have a heart that functions all on its own
I can save myself; not a damsel in distress
[Pre-Chorus]
But once upon a time, I wanted to be saved by my true love
I know I'm not Snow White but either way, I'll stay away from apples
[Chorus]
What if I could sing to all the birds?
And say the magic words to break the spell that I am underneath
What if fairy tales are merely memories of lives we've lived before?
Once upon a time, we believed
[Verse 2]
I am someone who knows there's more to it all
The twinkling stars are watching as we dream of endings
That are happy ever after
But what about what happens in between?
[Pre-Chorus]
Once upon a time, I wished upon sparkles in the sky
The clock will strike midnight and everything will change
They'll come alive
[Chorus]
What if I could sing to all the birds?
And say the magic words to break the spell that I am underneath
What if fairy tales are merely memories of lives we've lived before?
Once upon a time, we believed
[Bridge]
Life is so much darker than the fairy tales we know
Although all the heroes in the stories came with frightful foes
Fairy dust and genie lamps and trailing golden hair
Every bit of magic in the pages
I know that it exists somewhere
[Chorus]
So what if I could sing to all the birds?
And say the magic words to break the spell that I am underneath
What if I am destined to be happy with someone I've yet to meet?
What if reality isn't what it seems?
What if fairy tales are all the memories of lives we've lived before?
Once upon a time, we would soar
I am a girl who has never been in love
I haven't found the one who stands out from the rest
But I have a heart that functions all on its own
I can save myself; not a damsel in distress
[Pre-Chorus]
But once upon a time, I wanted to be saved by my true love
I know I'm not Snow White but either way, I'll stay away from apples
[Chorus]
What if I could sing to all the birds?
And say the magic words to break the spell that I am underneath
What if fairy tales are merely memories of lives we've lived before?
Once upon a time, we believed
[Verse 2]
I am someone who knows there's more to it all
The twinkling stars are watching as we dream of endings
That are happy ever after
But what about what happens in between?
[Pre-Chorus]
Once upon a time, I wished upon sparkles in the sky
The clock will strike midnight and everything will change
They'll come alive
[Chorus]
What if I could sing to all the birds?
And say the magic words to break the spell that I am underneath
What if fairy tales are merely memories of lives we've lived before?
Once upon a time, we believed
[Bridge]
Life is so much darker than the fairy tales we know
Although all the heroes in the stories came with frightful foes
Fairy dust and genie lamps and trailing golden hair
Every bit of magic in the pages
I know that it exists somewhere
[Chorus]
So what if I could sing to all the birds?
And say the magic words to break the spell that I am underneath
What if I am destined to be happy with someone I've yet to meet?
What if reality isn't what it seems?
What if fairy tales are all the memories of lives we've lived before?
Once upon a time, we would soar
