Fairytale by Sara Barielles honestly fits almost perfectly for Luna. She may seem like she's in need of saving at times, but in reality, she's strong and brave enough to handle anything she sets her mind to. She absolutely can take care of herself... despite moon-minded opinions to the contrary. (No offence, Swordy.)


Cinderella's on her bedroom floor

She's got a crush on the guy at the liquor store

'Cause Mr. Charming don't come home anymore

And she forgets why she came here

Sleeping Beauty's in a foul mood, for shame

She says, "None for you dear prince, I'm tired today

I'd rather sleep my whole life away

Then have you keep me from dreaming"


'Cause I don't care

For your fairytales

You're so worried 'bout the maiden

Though you know she's only waiting

On the next best thing

Next best thing


Snow White is doing dishes again

'Cause what else can you do with seven itty bitty men?

Sends them to bed, then calls up a friend

Says, "Will you meet me at midnight?"

Oh, the tall blonde lets out a cry of despair

Says, "Would've cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair

Now I've got to find another tower somewhere

And keep away from the windows"


'Cause I don't care

For your fairytales

You're so worried 'bout the maiden

Though you know she's only waiting

On the next best thing

Next best thing


Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom

Man made up these stories, said that I should believe him

Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight

But I don't want the next best thing, so I sing and

Bow my head down

And I break these walls around me

Can't take no more

Of your fairytale love


I don't care

For your fairytales

You're so worried 'bout the maiden

Though you know she's only waiting

On the next best thing

Next best thing


I don't care

No, I don't care

You're so worried 'bout the maiden

Though you know she's only waiting

Spent her whole life being graded on

The sanctity of patience and a dumb appreciation

But the story needs some mending and a better happy ending

'Cause I don't want the next best thing

No, I don't want the next best thing
