Once upon a time used to fit. I let it end, you never quit.
All those dreams laid out on the floor. It’s not a fairy-tale anymore. 

You were sure I was your prince. I could have been if I had any sense.
I’m the one, I closed that door. It’s not a fairy-tale anymore.

We might have been late on the rent once or twice, but you were never truly in distress.
The dragons I slayed were more like mice, and I was a frog – I was a frog –
Yes, I was a frog even after the kiss.

INSTRUMENTAL

I know you believed in me. I’d swim the moat. I’d set you free.
I’d not stop. I’d try some more. It’s not a fairy-tale anymore. 

Everyone knows how a fairy tale goes, the ending is happy, not sad.
You thought that you had your knight on a steed, but I was a frog – I was a frog - 
Yes, I was a frog even after the kiss.

There were no dragons to slay – maybe there were, but I walked away.
I know you never kept score, but it’s not a fairy-tale anymore.
