(…)Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
Man made up a story said that I should believe him
Go and tell your white knight that he’s handsome in hindsight
But I don’t want the next best thing
So I sing and hold my head down and I break these walls round me
Can’t take no more of your fairytale love

I don’t care for your fairytales
You’re so worried about the maiden though you know
She’s only waiting on the next best thing(…)
