Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time She dreamed she didn't cry She dreamed of smiles, laughing outloud She wished over and over, that this could be found And deep in her heart, she really did try To dig out of the darkness, the tears and the lies And when she woke up, she realized one thing The smiles and laughter, were all just a dream So she sat down with her notebook, her feelings, and pen And she decided her sadness, finally had to end So she wrote about everything, that bothered her inside She wrote about the things, that she thought she had to hide She wrote about life, and what she's been through She wrote about love, and heartbreak too And when she reread it, tears fell from her eyes Then she finally smiled, and told her past goodbye And once upon a time She really didn't cry
