Nightmare Fairytale




                                                 This is not a fairy tale,
                                                      with laughter
                                                     There's no end,
               Once upon a time,                  with happy ever after
              there was a little girl              Nightmares replay,
          She was such a happy child,               through her mind
                and she felt loved                  There's no peace,
            She played with her dolls,              that she can find
           like every young girl would              He took far more,
            Until he loved her wrong,           than he could ever know
                once upon a time             Once upon a time, so long ago


             This is not a fairy tale,               Long long ago,
                  with laughter                   She still remembers
                 There's no end,               The pain and hurt she felt.
              with happy ever after                  she can't forget
               Nightmares replay,           So now she finds she's trapped,
                through her mind                 reliving all those times
                There's no peace,              Her nightmares still replay,
                that she can find                     long long ago
                He took far more,
            than he could ever know              This is not a fairy tale,
         Once upon a time, so long ago                with laughter
                                                     There's no end,
                  Far far away,                   with happy ever after
             the little girl had gone              Nightmares replay,
              So far inside herself,                through her mind
                that she was lost                   There's no peace,
             What happened to her,                  that she can find
            she couldn't understand                 He took far more,
           And so she kept her mind,            than he could ever know
                   far far away              Once upon a time, so long ago
