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
Waiting on somebody to save me
Wishing on shooting stars
Always waiting for a kiss to awake me
But 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 lonely
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 second guessing
Felt like a brand-new ride
No longer passenger side
Guess I was suffocating
Waiting on somebody to save me
Wishing on shooting stars
Always waiting for a kiss to awake me
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 lonely
La la la lonely
Tired of the fairy tales
Why can't I be lonely
Lonely ever after
Held on for so long
To these expectations
Maybe it's enough
To be my own salvation
(Waiting on somebody to save me)
No I don't somebody else
(Wishing on shooting stars)
No, I don't need a magic spell
(Always 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 lonely
La la la lonely
Tired of the fairy tales
Why can't I be lonely
Lonely ever after
