WATCH:
Years ago when I was younger
I kinda liked a girl I knew
She was mine and we were sweethearts
That was then, but then it’s true
I’m in love with a fairytale even though it hurts
‘Cause I don’t care if I lose my mind I’m already cursed
Every day we started fighting
Every night we fell in love
No one else could make me sadder
But no one else could lift me high above
I don’t know what I was doing
When suddenly we fell apart
Nowadays I cannot find her
But when I do we’ll get a brand new start
I’m in love with a fairytale even though it hurts
‘Cause I don’t care if I lose my mind I’m already cursed
She’s a fairytale, yeah even though it hurts
‘Cause I don’t care if I lose my mind I’m already cursed
