Dove Cameron - My Once Upon a Time lyrics
[Dove Cameron - My Once Upon a Time lyrics]
Here you are alone, and you deserve it
Your friends have turned to stone
And that's on you you had a cause to serve
But did you serve it?
Or did you see yourself in
A way that wasn't true?
This is not your father's fairytale
And no, it's not your mother's fault you fail
So when your story comes to light
Make sure the story that they write
Goes once upon a time a girl tried harder
Once upon a time she tried again
Once upon a braver choice she took a risk
She used her voice
And that will be my once upon a time
This time
Why tell all those lies? You feel unworthy
Like there isn't solid ground
For you to stand
But a stack of lies is not a firm foundation
You cannot build a castle on
A mountain made of sand
This is not your mother's dark desire
And no, it's not your father's hair on fire
Turns out it's you who's not awake
So if there's change you wanna make
Take once upon a time she fought a dragon
Once upon a time that beast was me
Once upon a misspent youth she faced herself
She spoke the truth
That's how I see my once upon a time
This time
Life is not a storybook but
Life unfolds in chapters
Turn the page and start to make amends
There's no pre-written guarantee of
"Happily ever after"
Step into your greatness before
Your story ends so when your story ends
They'll say once upon a time
A girl flew higher
Once upon a time she made things right
Once upon a tie that binds
She changed her heart to change their minds
That's got to be my once upon a time
This once upon a time
I'll finally see my once upon a time
This time
Your friends have turned to stone
And that's on you you had a cause to serve
But did you serve it?
Or did you see yourself in
A way that wasn't true?
This is not your father's fairytale
And no, it's not your mother's fault you fail
So when your story comes to light
Make sure the story that they write
Goes once upon a time a girl tried harder
Once upon a time she tried again
Once upon a braver choice she took a risk
She used her voice
And that will be my once upon a time
This time
Why tell all those lies? You feel unworthy
Like there isn't solid ground
For you to stand
But a stack of lies is not a firm foundation
You cannot build a castle on
A mountain made of sand
This is not your mother's dark desire
And no, it's not your father's hair on fire
Turns out it's you who's not awake
So if there's change you wanna make
Take once upon a time she fought a dragon
Once upon a time that beast was me
Once upon a misspent youth she faced herself
She spoke the truth
That's how I see my once upon a time
This time
Life is not a storybook but
Life unfolds in chapters
Turn the page and start to make amends
There's no pre-written guarantee of
"Happily ever after"
Step into your greatness before
Your story ends so when your story ends
They'll say once upon a time

Once upon a time she made things right
Once upon a tie that binds
She changed her heart to change their minds
That's got to be my once upon a time
This once upon a time
I'll finally see my once upon a time
This time
