Once upon a time I was strong enough, I was me
Once upon a time is long ago
Some things start the easy way; it feels good, no more to say
Some things hide so much behind that ease (some things hide so much)
You ask for more (you're under my skin)
You push, I'm floored
This is a fight I'll never win
You bring me down (you're under my skin)
Don't break me, no!
Some things change while I remain quite the same
Doomed to linger
Some things change for better or for worse
Once upon a time comes back; I will too
I'll stand stronger
Once upon a time's a fairytale (once upon a time)
You ask for more (you're under my skin)
You push, I'm floored
This is a fight I'll never win
You bring me down (you're under my skin)
Don't break me, no!
No, no, no, no
Once upon a time's today
I stand up, I'll stand strong now
Once upon a time's for yesterday
Some things end without a choice
It's not your call, no reprisal
Some things end too late for you to choose (some things end too late)
You ask for more (you're under my skin)
You push, I'm floored
This is a fight I'll never win
You bring me down (you're under my skin)
Don't break me, no!
No, no, no, no
You ask for more (you're under my skin)
You push, I'm floored
This is a fight I'll never win
You bring me down (you're under my skin)
You're under my skin
Don't break me, no!
Don't break me, don't break me, no!
