Once Upon a Fight

"Nothing's ever as it seems,"
Says the smile with broken dreams
Dreams that somehow left in flames
Guess it left us wide awake

Do you remember a day before all of this?
Before lightning cracked open the skies
We were invincible, now what did we miss?
The towel never dries our eyes

What on earth happened?
All our dreams are shattered
Now we're begging the streetlights
To tell us we matter
A time ago we jumped in the puddles
And we ignored our differences
We always looked up to the skyline
Back when we were princesses

It wasn't hard to speak a name
And hide and seek was just a game
Now instead of a prince and a palace
It seems we've picked up battle axes

'Cause Cinderella's shoe won't fit
And Alice fell too hard this time
Freedom up and left Jasmine
And Wendy forgot how to fly

What on earth happened?
All our dreams are shattered
Now we're begging the streetlights
To tell us we matter
A time ago we jumped in puddles
And we ignored our differences
We always looked up to the skyline
Back when we were princesses

Now Snow White will never eat apples again
Aurora cannot mend her kids' socks
Wendy is terrified of "the end's"
And Alice worries over ticking clocks
Yeah all of us, we have our scars
From wishing on a shooting star
If you find home is way too far
And growing up is way too hard

What on earth happened?
All our dreams are shattered
Now we're begging the streetlights
To tell us we matter
A time ago we jumped in puddles
And we ignored our differences
We always looked up to the skyline
Back when we were princesses

Yeah all of us, we have our scars
From wishing on a shooting star
But when we let the dreams back in
That's when the real magic begins
