This isn't what I thought it would be
Once upon a time
See, fairy tales could change so suddenly
And don't tell me this was written in the stars
That my fate is decided by random tarot cards in the night
In my palms set off some kind of alarm
(I think I'm going crazy
Can't find the remedy
I think that you could save me tell me this ain't meant to be)

Tell me that I'm safe here
I won't be replaced here
Tell me this is blind fear
Look me in the eye
Help me through the night
Night
This isn't what I thought it would be
Once upon a time
When I met this black dog named anxiety
But don't tell me that I'm meant to be calm
That you can relate
And that it will be okay if I could just move on
Now I'm back at the start
(And I'm searching for your arms)

Tell me that I'm safe here
I won't be replaced here
Tell me this is blind fear
Look me in the eye
Tell me when it's over
I feel it drawing closer
The devil's on my shoulder
Tell me I'm alright
Help me through the night
(I think I'm going crazy
Can't find the remedy
I think that you could save me
Tell me this ain't meant to be)

(I think I'm going crazy
Can't find the remedy
I think that you could save me
Tell me this ain't meant to be)
This isn't what I thought it would be
Things don't always go exactly as they're meant to be
This isn't what I thought it would be
But when it gets hard
Do we just accept our scars or fight?
Fight!

Tell me that I'm safe here
I won't be replaced here
Tell me this is blind fear
Look me in the eye
Tell me when it's over
I feel it drawing closer
The devil's on my shoulder
Tell me I'm alright
Tell me that I'm safe here
I won't be replaced here
Tell me this is blind fear
Look me in the eye
Tell me when it's over
I feel it drawing closer
The devil's on my shoulder
Tell me I'm alright
Help me through the night
