The Story - Jana Kramer

Climb on up into Mama’s bed, it’s just us tonight

Don’t need a book, just snuggle in

I’ll tell you a story I wish I didn’t have to say

About a girl who fought with all her heart

But still had to walk away

Once upon a time he loved me

Once upon a time I loved him too

It all fell apart in a moment

Lord, I wish it wasn’t true

'Cause you deserve the perfect family

The fairytales you know so well

Instead of sitting here listening

To the story I wish I didn’t have to tell

I know it’s hard to see Mama cry

But I promise you that we’re all gonna be alright

I need you to know that you’ll always be loved

You’re the very best chapter in the story of us

And it goes

Once upon a time he loved me

Once upon a time I loved him too

It all fell apart in a moment

Lord, I wish it wasn’t true

'Cause you deserve the perfect family

The fairytales you know so well

Instead of sitting here listening

To the story I wish I didn’t have to tell

Now it’s time to pick up all these broken pieces

So that we can be the story we believe in

Once upon a time it was us three

Starting over, all brand new

Dreaming of the happy ending I always wanted for you

'Cause you deserve the perfect family

The fairytales you know so well

Instead of sitting here listening

To the story I wish I didn’t have to tell

The story I wish I didn’t have to tell
