Verse 1:

Once upon a time

A boy crawled into bed

His mother laid next to him

Her fingers touched his head

He asked for

A story of fiction

She smiled and nodded

Adjusted her position

Pre-chorus:

"My love, don't allow them

To let you bleed"

"Who?" I asked

Chorus:

My, my mother always said

In life don't get attached

To people that you know

With you are a mismatch

And I thought that I understood

Until we met

And I looked in your eyes

Now my morals, I forget

Verse 2:

Once upon a time

A man with a dream

He flew back home

To tell mom about his team

His friends, the lights

Everything he wanted

He had all of it

But still felt empty-hearted

Pre-chorus:

"My love, don't allow them

To let you bleed"

"Who?" I asked

Chorus:

My, my mother always said

In life don't get attached

To people that you know

With you are a mismatch

And I thought that I understood

Until we met

And I looked in your eyes

Now my morals, I forget

Bridge:

The bitter on my tongue

Happily ever after

Wasn't taught how bad it stung

Breakdown:

When it's your love you have to leave

Why is what I want the most

What's destroying me

Chorus:

Now, my vision's getting clear

Have the urge to close my eyes

But even in my dreams

I'm trapped within your lies

And I thought that I understood

When I was taught my worth

But in truth, I never remembered

Until my morals were rebirthed
