Love was made up for childhood dreams
For fairytales and movie screens
It's a lie we've been told for far too long
Darling, prove me wrong
You'll keep reaching for a sweeter apple to bite
For a brighter star or a carpet to ride
For a taller tower or a midnight hour
Or shoes that fit just right
You've been mapping your path out all along
Darling, prove me wrong
Well once upon a time
I believed in those old rhymes
But a prince like you came and led me on
Oh Darling, Prove me wrong
You'll keep reaching for a sweeter apple to bite
For a brighter star or a carpet to ride
For a bigger castle or a call to battle
And kingdoms to unite
You've been mapping your path out all along
Darlin, prove me wrong
Prove me wrooong
Prove me wroooong
Ooooh woaah
Darling, prove me wrong
I know true love's kiss is only drunken lust
And happily ever after is just a naïve trust
In happy endings -- what's the use pretending this shine won't soon be rust...?
You'll keep reaching for a sweeter apple to bite
For a brighter star or a carpet to ride
For your next adventure or for 3 more wishes
And evil queens to fight
Well, you've been mapping your path out, all along
For the moment you're here, but you'll soon be gone
I bet you won't even hear me end this song
Darling, prove me wrong
Well, I wish I was wrong
