by Mel Maryns - Once Upon a Time

This is a song about a person who is feeling sad and alone. She is searching for answers and trying to find happiness, but she is unable to find it. The "mirror on the wall" is a symbol for self-reflection and the person is asking for guidance, but she is met with her own reflection, which only shows her broken heart. The chorus repeats that there are no ball gowns or fancy crowns, just a broken heart, symbolizing that material possessions cannot bring happiness or heal a broken heart.

[Verse 1]Once upon a time
She lost her crown
Running from the
witch
Hiding all the stitches
In a broken mirror on the wall
on the wall

Only seventeen
Falling down
Seven millions tears
In a glass of fears
Lying down alone
on the ground
on the ground

[Pre Chorus]And now she is caught
In a castle of bones
Carrying all the past
But she’s not that strong

[Chorus]Mirror on the wall
Who is the saddest of all?
There’s no ball gowns
No fancy crowns
Just a broken heart

[Verse 2]Once upon a time
She used to laugh
Leaving all the screams
Saving all the dreams
In a golden mirror on the wall

Love can be true
there’s no doubt
everlasting bliss
waiting for the kiss
in a bed of roses by the crowd

[Pre chorus]And now she is sitting
In a throne of lies
Looking for the light
Deep inside her eyes

[Bridge]who is on the wall?
is it the evil or
the good after all
who is on the wall?
why don’t you show your face once and for all

[Final Chorus]Mirror on the wall
Who is the saddest of all?
There’s no ball gowns
No fancy crowns
Just a broken

Mirror on the wall
Who is the saddest of all?
There’s no ball gowns
No fancy crowns
Just a broken
Just a broken
Heart
