Once, far away and long ago
Was a tale, my daddy told to me
He said there's a land of fantasy
There's a prince who'll fight for me 'till the end

This isn't how I've thought it was supposed to be
You were the one who I imagined next to me
But some times love will fail in the hands of the reckless
'Cause this is no fairytale and I am no princess
No princess

Now, we're living in the strangest dream
Well, I don't know what to believe 'cause when
You've said "I'm the one who'll fight for you"
"I'm the one you'd never lose" that was just pretend

This isn't how I've thought it was supposed to be
You were the one who I imagined next to me
But some times love will fail in the hands of the reckless
'Cause this is no fairytale and I am no princess
No princess

If I am a prisoner and fear is my captor
And I'll never know happily ever after
I'm no princess
That's just how it is, but now I'm wiser
Next time I'll write my own last chapter

This isn't how I've thought it was supposed to be
You were the one who I imagined next to me
But some times love will fail in the hands of the reckless
'Cause this is no fairytale and I am no princess
No princess
