Once Upon a Time Video (MV)

Steady yourself, If I were here
You wouldn't cry for me
And I would be so honored
To be starring in your story
Sometimes will you think of me?
Though I don't think I'm worthy of your sympathy
Either you're the one whose telling the story
Or you're the one that dies

Take with you snapshots, memories
But don't you worry 'bout what could have been
I'm sorry that I had to blow this joint but
Grieving really ain't my scene
I'll simply take a slow bow
And stagger my way back home
Because you either leave the party early
Or you're the one that's left alone

If we're all stories
Save a good part for me
If we're all stories
Read it aloud
And set the words free

Our time's coming, mine's coming up fast
Like a subway train through an underpass
And I really thought that I might stick this out
But good things never last
I never met your expectations of me
But I know you're gonna make me
The hero of your story

If we're all stories
Save a good part for me
If we're all stories
Read it aloud
And set the words free
If we're all stories
You'll make it brave princesses and daring knights
If we're all stories
You'll make me shimmer and shine in the limelight

Once upon a time your love was mine
Then once a time I lied
Once upon a time your love was mine
Now I'm pretty much dead inside
Once upon a time your love was mine
Then once upon a time I lied
Once upon a time
I lied

If we're all stories
(Once upon a time your love was mine)
Save a good part for me
(Then once a time I lied)
If we're all stories
(Once upon a time your love was mine)
Read it aloud
(Then once upon a time I lied)
And set the words free
(Once upon a time)
If we're all stories
You'll make it brave princesses and daring knights
(I lied)
If we're all stories
(Once upon a time)
You'll make me shimmer and shine in the limelight
I lied
