Once Upon a Fairytale

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Once upon a fairytale They wrote me in a tower cell Long hair Long dress Long wait Like boredom is my only fate They said “Hold on He’s on his way” Some dude that I have never met Climbing up my split-end braids Like I’m a ladder Not a person yet [Chorus] I ain’t your fairytale princess (no way) I don’t exist to say “you’re the best” (uh-uh) You ride in late Then take the credit Like I owe you ’cause you showed up in a sentence Turn the page I flip the script Drop the crown I keep my wit You want a damsel? That role’s dismissed I ain’t your fairytale princess [Verse 2] Snow White scrubbing seven plates Housework House guys House debates He kisses her while she’s asleep And somehow that’s called “romantic sweet”? Sleeping Beauty Hundred years Nobody asked if she had fears Wake her up with lips Not sense Then hand her to a man in tents [Chorus] I ain’t your fairytale princess (wake up) I don’t exist to be your test (no test) You swing a sword Then strike a pose Like you’re the reason that a girl can grow Turn the page I break the spell Love myself I save myself You want a statue? I’ll resist I ain’t your fairytale princess [Bridge] Mario jumping all that height But never reads what Peach might write (hey!) She got her own kart Her own race He just shows up and takes first place “Thank you Hero ” every time Endless castles Copied lines What if she just locks the gate Texts him back “Boy I’m running late” [Chorus] I ain’t your fairytale princess (get this) Not a prize on your checklist (uh-uh) Keep your castle Keep your throne I built a life that’s all my own Rip the script Let’s tell it new Girls save worlds and each other too You want my story? Here’s the twist: I’m writing it— I ain’t your fairytale princess
