"Fairytale" lyrics

Once upon a time, in a land far away
Where the fairytale lied, you would have it your way
I would always have wished, as I stood in the mist
To undo the spell I was under

Years went by and the story goes on
I'm here wondering why I did everything wrong
Always hoping that I find the wings and do fly
And be no more the prey but the hunter

All seems like the perfect ending
Still I'm close to understanding

I still breathe
But you're killing me, I believe
That I need a reason to live
I can no longer hide in my dreams
Gotta still breathe

Tables have turned, as I'm drifting away
Now the lesson is learned I can no longer stay
I am finally freed from your hurting and greed
I see oceans of joy and laughter

Turning my head for the very last time
In a distance you stand as I leave you behind
As our fairytale ends, hear my very last words
That I'll happily live ever after

All seems like the perfect ending
Still I'm close to understanding

I still breathe
But you're killing me, I believe
That I need a reason to live
I can no longer hide in my dreams
Gotta still breathe

No more fairytale, I'm tired of it
I am no longer brave to fight for all this
No more fairytale, I'm tired of it
I am no longer brave to fight for all we've had

I still breathe
But you're killing me, I believe
That I need a reason to live
I can no longer hide in my dreams
Gotta still breathe
