Climb on up Into momma's bed It's just us tonight Don't need a book, just snuggle in I'll tell you a story I wish I didn't have to say About a girl who fought with all her heart But still had to walk away Once upon a time he loved me Once upon a time I loved him too It all fell apart in a moment Lord, I wish it wasn't true 'Cause you deserve the perfect family The fairy tales you know so well Instead of sittin' here listenin' to the story I wish I didn't have to tell Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh I know it's hard To see momma cry But I promise you That we're all gonna be alright I need you know That you will always be loved You're the very best chapters In the story of us And it goes Once upon a time he loved me Once upon a time I loved him too It all fell apart in a moment Lord, I wish it wasn't true 'Cause you deserve the perfect family The fairy tales you know so well Instead of sittin' here listenin' to the story I wish I didn't have to tell Now it's time to pick up all these broken pieces So that we can be the story we believe in Once upon a time it was us three Starting over all brand new Dreaming of the happy ending I always wanted for you 'Cause you deserve the perfect family The fairy tales you know so well Instead of sittin' here listenin' to the story I wish I didn't have to tell Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh The story Wish I didn't have to tell
