Jemma Louise Holland Lyrics
"Once Upon a Time (There Was No Happy Ending)"

(spoken)
Once upon a time
I'm sorry that I lied
This fairy tale touched my life
And It's hard to say good bye

There was no happy ending
And I'm sure I've made it worse
But I ask if you'll forgive me
Because this silence is a curse

(Guitar bit)
(sung)
Baby You've called my bluff
And you've caught me out
In my deceit
Seen through the lies and cover ups
Your hearts taken the beat

I can say it wasn't worth it
And that I'm not proud
And I hate the stormy weather
Well I cant see through this cloud

But It's 3am my phone goes
And I'm still up waiting
From The butterflies inside me , too,
The Disappointment, it's not you.

Then i lay back to remember
The start and the end.
And I wonder if you wonder
If the middle was different then,

(chorus)
And I know it might mean little now
But please know I still care
And if you learn to forgive me
Don't forget I'll be there

And I know that I've hurt you
Maybe beyond repair
But you chose to end this
And break me like this,

They could call this karma
But its not what you deserved
You deserve better
Oh I wish I was better

I can only say sorry
For the pain that I've caused
Temptation came knocking
on all the wrong doors

I wanted to tell you,
But I knew you would hurt
I don't know why I did it
The lipstick on his shirt

Well I know it might mean little now
But please know I still care
And if you learn to forgive me
Don't forget I'll be there

And I know that I've hurt you
Maybe beyond repair
But you chose to end this
And make me like this,

There were no signs on show
I thought You didn't care
I wanted to make you,
And I know that isnt fair

But look who it came back on
Because I lost you
And the hardest thing now is
We are definitely through

Who'd of known that a kiss
Could cut up a heart
Break down a relationship
And tear us apart

well I know it might mean little now
But please know I still care
And if you learn to forgive me
Don't forget I'll be there

And I know that I've hurt you
Maybe beyond repair
But you chose to end this
And take it like this,

And baby is it wrong
To say I love you still
When I bare the knife
Set on your heart to kill

And baby this wasn't worth it
Because all I've done is made it worse for me
I took the spade, then dug the whole
For both of us to be

And is it wrong to ask for one more night,
With the taste of him, still on my lips
After all It was my want for your jealousy,
That let him grab, hold of my my hips

Why am I, trying so hard to justify my actions
Well I guess, Atleast now I'm admitting it, so
it takes two to tango baby , and you deserved too know

Shut up you said, as the silence was broken
I have to let go, you said, and I was out spoken
Shut up you said, I don't want to hear more
Just let go, you said, then closed behind you the door.
oh, But,
Come back I said, sorry is all I can say
I wont shut up, I said, I want you to stay
And you said let go, but I just cant let go
And you said let go, but I don't want to let go
And you said let go, but please don't you let go.
Because,

(speaking) I know it might mean little now
But please know I still care
And if you learn to forgive me
Don't forget I'll be there

And I know that I've hurt you
Maybe beyond repair
But you chose to end this
And end it, like this,

(spoken)
Once upon a time
I'm sorry that I lied
This fairy tale is my life
Is now goodbye

Because I've heard of happy endings
And this is all I want
But there are no happy endings
So in my dreams you'll haunt.
And I guess I deserve this
I did you so much wrong
But if destiny's are written babe
Then i know we belong.
