Fairytale Lyrics - Careful Confessions - Sara Bareilles

Cinderella's on her bedroom floor 

She's got a crush on the guy at the liquor store 

'Cause Mr. Charming don't come home anymore 

And she forgets why she came here 

Sleeping Beauty's in a foul mood for shame 

She says, "None for you, dear Prince, I'm tired today 

I'd rather sleep my whole life away 

Than have you keep me from dreaming" 

'Cause I don't care for your fairytales 

You're so worried 'bout the maiden 

Though you know she's only waiting

On the next best thing, next best thing 

Snow White is doing dishes again 

'Cause what else could you do with seven itty-bitty men? 

Sends them to bed and she calls up a friend 

Says, "Would you meet me at midnight?" 

The tall blond lets out a cry of despair 

Says, "Would've cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair 

I'll have to find another tower somewhere 

Keep away from the windows" 

'Cause I don't care for your fairytales 

You're so worried 'bout the maiden 

Though you know she's only waiting 

On the next best thing, next best thing 

Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom 

Photos 

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, I 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 'bout the maiden 

Though you know she's only waiting 

On the next best thing 

I don't care, I don't care 

You worry 'bout the maiden 

Though you know she's only waiting 

Spent her whole life being graded 

On the sanctity of patience 

And a dumb appreciation 

But the story needs some mending 

And a better happy ending 

'Cause I don't want the next best thing 

No, no, I don't want the next best thing
