My Once Upon A Time Lyrics - Dove Cameron

Here you are alone, and you deserve it 

Your friends have turned to stone 

And that's on you 

You had a cause to serve, but did you serve it? 

Or did you see yourself in a way that wasn't true? 

This is not your father's fairytale 

And no, it's not your mother's fault you fail 

So when your story comes to light 

Make sure the story that they write 

Goes, "once upon a time, a girl tried harder" 

"Once upon a time, she tried again" 

"Once upon a braver choice, she took a risk, she used her voice" 

And that will be my once upon a time 

This time

Why tell all those lies? 

You feel unworthy 

Like there isn't solid ground for you to stand 

But a stack of lies is not a firm foundation 

You cannot build a castle on a mountain made of sand 

This is not your mother's dark desire 

And no, it's not your father's hair on fire 

Turns out it's you who's not awake 

So if there's change you wanna make 

Take, "once upon a time, she fought a dragon" 

"Once upon a time, that beast was me" 

"Once upon a misspent youth, she faced herself, she spoke the truth" 

That's how I see my once upon a time 

This time 

Life is not a storybook, but life unfolds in chapters 

Turn the page and start to make amends 

There's no prewritten guarantee of happily ever after 

Step into your greatness before your story ends 

So when your story ends 

They'll say 

"Once upon a time, a girl flew higher" 

"Once upon a time, she made things right" 

"Once upon a tie that binds, she changed her heart to change their minds" 

That's got to be my once upon a time 

This once upon a time 

I'll finally see my once upon a time 

This time
