Once upon a time
or so the stories say
i was yours and you were mine
and everything was okay

in distance we were apart
and maybe emotionally too
never in my heart
did i think twice about my love for you

it was the fall which carried over to winter
but as the days got warm
again you started talking to her
my heart suddenly torn

you said she was nothing you
and i believed your story
maybe i was naive or just a fool
all you said was "I'm sorry"

more days went past
and you fell for her
I wish I'd seen it coming fast
then your love made a turn

I wasn't close enough for you
you scared little boy
way too honest, too much truth?
I was tossed away as an old toy

now you were tired of being alone
I pity your poor being
you had before never felt home
although my heart was for your keeping

if you hadn't left me in the cold
I thought I'd love you for my whole life
I would never have known
that all this was one simple lie

now here our story ended
you're okay and you have her
you saw where this tale was headed
for me there's no happily ever after
