You look for love everlasting
Blind to the ones you keep passing
Take a look around
No one's ever found perfection
It begs the question
[Chorus:]
Once upon a time and ever after
I can barely stop my laughter
Save the princess waiting in the tower
Kid, that shit has got no power
In the end it's not pretend
It's you and her, so learn to bend and maybe
Someday you'll say that you found a new way
No one's perfect and that's ok
Life and love are something that you work on
With the one who loves you right or wrong
And that's the reason mine beats Once Upon A Time
Still, you just hear and don't listen
Heart in the stars on a mission
Maybe someday soon, you'll find someone who destroys you
Like they all do
[Chorus]
You deny that I'm aware
Truth is that I've been there
I was blind as I could be
Til I found someone
Real who loved in
Ways that I could
Not imagine
[Chorus]
