lyrics
Sucker For Fairytales
Once upon a time my heart got broken badly
but instead of blaming her, I did blame love
Like been cast a spell, no leprechaun, no wishing well,
no fairy and no dust to bring me luck
You will never catch a rainbow, when you're looking for the gold
Never find a happy end, if you don't believe what's told
Love is just no fairytale, or we are just too old
But I am just a sucker, I am just a sucker, baby
Aren't we all just suckers for fairytales
Once upon a time my heart seemed to surrender
as I kissed this girl and tried to wake her up
Put in effort, keep on yearning, as the spinning-wheel kept turning
But I never got on top
Never look into the future, when you look into her eyes
Never look into a mirror, when its telling only lies
Don't eat fruit you get from strangers, what you give is what you get
I can only say that I'm just a sucker, baby
Aren't we all just suckers for fairytales
Oh my god, they put a spell on you
Can't get you out of my mind
Oh my god they put a spell on you
Kiss me now and hold me; Once upon a time
I'm a sucker for fairytales; Once upon a time
I'm a sucker for fairytales; Once upon a time
I'm a sucker for fairytales; Once upon a time
Once upon a time my reason said surrender
but instead I did march of and fell in love
I'm no knight in shining armor, she could only do me harm
Least I could expect it to get rough
You must clim to highest tower, if you want to get real high
You must fight the biggest dragon, and now wish you don't get fried
Don't get the “happily ever after”, when the storyteller fails
But I am just a sucker, I am just a sucker baby
Aren't we all just suckers?
Don't call me a sucker
Well, I am just a sucker for fairytales

The world appears to be littered with bearded young men with acoustic guitars and notebooks full of verse, access to old pianos, and mournful string players.
