Fairy tale Quote by Crystal
“I thought I knew what I wanted 'Til I got it Turned around Now the pressure's on in the moment I was chasing a fairy tale Until I caught it Took a leap of faith Now I'm back where I started I This perfect life Somehow doesn't really feel right I learned tonight That I trade it all For something real Something that's raw Something that I, can feel Flaws and all Now here's the deal I don't want nothing 'less it's something real I used to get so caught up Finding all the answers Always liked to play it smart Never taking chances Had to see for myself To believe in magic Now I know inside my heart I already had it all”
