Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time

I had not a care

Not for the lack of wanting

But for a deep fear



Once upon a time

I thought it was a lie

Make believe only for the movies

And for those too weak to deal



Once upon a time

I was sure I knew the truth

Love was non-existent

An inconvenient chore



Once upon a time

I set my eyes on you

You said I was mistaken

I laughed my heart's content



Once upon a time

I let a life unfold

I had something to prove

To show you you were wrong.



Once upon a time

I was just like all the others

Forced to believe the lies of a broken heart

But thanks to you - today I know the truth.
