"Alexander Rybak - Fairytale"

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 Chorus 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 start a fighting Every night we fell in love No one else could make me sadder 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 Chorus 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 mnd I'm already cursed
