[Español]

Years ago, when I was younger

I kinda liked a girl I knew

She was mine and we were sweethearts

That was then, but then it's true

I'm in love with a fairytale

Even though it hurts

'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind

I'm already cursed

Every day, we started fighting (tarara)

Every night, we fell in love (tarara, tara, tarara)

No one else could make me sadder (tarara)

But no one else could lift me high above

I don't know what I was doing

When suddenly, we fell apart

Nowadays, I cannot find her

But when I do, we'll get a brand-new start

I'm in love with a fairytale

Even though it hurts

'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind

I'm already cursed

She's a fairytale, yeah

Even though it hurts

'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind

I'm already cursed
