Once upon a time
Every Sunday night
I'd fill my head with
Pages engraved
With a love like fate
Thought I got the lesson

Always waiting on somebody to save me
Wishing on shooting stars
Waiting for a kiss to awake me
But I'm done with waiting

Tired of the fairy tales
Why can't I be lonely
Lonely ever after?
Done with feeling like I failed
Why can't I be lonely
Lonely ever after?
La, la, la, la, la
Lonely
La, la, la, la, la
Lonely
Tired of the fairy tales
Why can't I be lonely
Lonely ever after

Read between the lines
Started to take what's mine
Instead of hesitating
Felt like a brand new ride
No longer passenger side
Guess I was suffocating

Waiting on somebody to save me
Wishing on shooting stars
Waiting for a kiss to awake me
But I'm done with waiting

Tired of the fairy tales
Why can't I be lonely
Lonely ever after?
Done with feeling like I failed
Why can't I be lonely
Lonely ever after?
La, la, la, la, la
Lonely
La, la, la, la, la
Lonely
Tired of the fairy tales
Why can't I be lonely
Lonely ever after

Held on for too long
To these expectations
Maybe it's enough
To be my own salvation
(Waiting for somebody to save me)
No, I don't need somebody else
(Wishing on shooting stars)
No, I don't need no magic spells
(Waiting for a kiss to awake me)
No, I don't need a fairy tale
(Yeah, I'm done waiting)

Tired of the fairy tales
Why can't I be lonely
Lonely ever after?
Done with feeling like I failed
Why can't I be lonely
Lonely ever after?
La, la, la, la, la
Lonely
La, la, la, la, la
Lonely
Tired of the fairy tales
Why can't I be lonely
Lonely ever after
