Climb on up into Mama's bed, it's just us tonight Don't need a book, just snuggle in I'll tell you a story I wish I didn't have to say About a girl who fought with all her heart But still had to walk away
Once upon a time he loved me Once upon a time I loved him too It all fell apart in a moment Lord, I wish it wasn't true 'Cause you deserve the perfect family The fairytales you know so well Instead of sitting here listening To the story I wish I didn't have to tell
I know it's hard to see Mama cry But I promise you that we're all gonna be alright I need you to know that you'll always be loved You're the vеry best chapter in the story of us And it goеs
Once upon a time he loved me Once upon a time I loved him too It all fell apart in a moment Lord, I wish it wasn't true 'Cause you deserve the perfect family The fairytales you know so well Instead of sitting here listening To the story I wish I didn't have to tell
Now it's time to pick up all these broken pieces So that we can be the story we believe in
Once upon a time it was us three Starting over, all brand new Dreaming of the happy ending I always wanted for you 'Cause you deserve the perfect family The fairytales you know so well Instead of sitting here listening To the story I wish I didn't have to tell
