Fairytale Lyrics

I saw a man he was painting picture and I just had to stop and stare

It looked just like us and I wanted to buy it, but he said it wasn't for sale

It had your eyes and it had your nose and he painted my smile and a pretty pink rose

We were walking down the road hand-in-hand

And you're just gonna have to take my word for it

It was a fairytale

It was there for a minute and then it was gone

It was a fairytale

And I never want to end but it did

I sometimes still pick up our picture and think of when we were

It seems so perfect, and it might've been if we tried a little harder

But we were young, and we didn't know that this is how it was supposed to go

And if I had known you'd break my heart, then I wouldn't have let you go

It was a fairytale

It was there for a minute and then it was gone

It was a fairytale

And I never want to end but it did

I saw you in the street one day and I couldn't help myself

I stared at you while you painted a picture and wondered how your life panned out

Then I looked down at what you were drawing, and I couldn't help but smile

It looked just like us and I went to buy it, but you said it wasn't for sale

And when I asked why you said

It was a fairytale

It was there for a minute and then it was gone

It was a fairytale

And I never want to end but it did
