Lyrics
Find another songOnce upon a time, I was a baker
And everybody was impressed
But I didn't need approval because I already knew I was the best
Everything I made was a masterpiece
It all tasted like heaven
But then unfortunately, I turned seven
Once upon a time, I was a painter
And everybody said, "Wow
Girl, you're so clever, you're so talented"
And I agreed, and I stood proud
I painted mountains
I painted blue lakes
I painted people
I drew portraits
But then I drew my dad and held it up beside him
And I realized that it looked nothing like him
And part of me wished nobody had told her
But I guess it's just a part of getting older, hmm
Once upon a time, I was a runner
I was the fastest in the town
And they'd all say nobody will outrun her
'Cause she's the fastest girl around
Once upon a time, I was a dancer
It took no effort
I was a scientist, I was an expert
I was a genius, and I thought nothing of it
Until they told me that I wasn't
And part of me wished nobody had told her
But I guess it's just a part of getting older
When you learn
You're supposed to color perfectly inside of the lines
And you're supposed to win at least a couple hundred times
Before you even have the right to think or say or show you're any good at all
They'll tell you that there's only one right way, one paved path
Or you'll make a fool of yourself, and everyone will laugh
They'll make you feel like everybody's waiting there to watch you as you fall
They sigh, they tell me I'm a dreamer
They say, "Someone's gotta wake her"
But I'll just smile, I'll say
Once upon a time, I was a baker
