My Once Upon a Time

Sung by: Dove Cameron

[Verse 1]

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?

[Pre-Chorus 1]

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

[Chorus 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus 2]

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

[Chorus 2]

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

[Verse 3]

Life is not a storybook but life unfolds in chapters

Turn the page and start to make amends

There's no pre-written guarantee of "Happily ever after"

Step into your greatness before your story ends

So when your story ends

[Chorus 3]

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

[Outro]

This once upon a time

I'll finally see my once upon a time

This time
