Fairytale Lyrics

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 of wine
I don't care if it calls

Every day we started 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 doin'
But 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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

For people looking for the meaning of this song, it's basically about Alexander loving this girl ('I'm in love with a fairy tale...') and she and him had a bit of a thing goin on, but he knows it won't last, ('I'm already cursed") and then it doesn't last. He really cares about her, he's crazy for her, and after the fallout of their relationship, he goes to look for her and she's like avoiding all confrontation with her ("Nowadays I cannot find her") and he wants to get back together with her.

Shame this is a bit lame because the violin is really nice. Still, probably the best song from 2009 at Eurovision, so I'm not surprised it won.
