Fairytale
Wvnder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For those who've come and gone
For everyone I've ever loved
I look back to the past
I read it like a letter
Warmer weather
Then I remember
Everything you put me through
I should have seen this coming
All along
All along
I was wrong
To think I could forget you
Still holding onto something
Dead and gone
Dead and gone
Carry on
Like I never loved you
(Yeah)
I'm clinging to a fairy tale
(Yeah)
Can we make this last forever?
(Yeah)
The only drug that never fails
(Yeah)
'Cause it's always now or never
I should have seen this coming
All along
All along
I was wrong
To think I could forget you
Still holding onto something
Dead and gone
Dead and gone
Carry on
Like I never loved you
(Yeah)
I'm clinging to a fairy tale
(Yeah)
Can we make this last forever?
(Yeah)
The only drug that never fails
(Yeah)
'Cause it's always now or never

This sets up the theme of reflection on past relationships and memories. The lyrics "I should have seen this coming all along, I was wrong to think I could forget you" suggest that the person has regrets about their past actions or decisions related to love.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea of holding onto something that is no longer there.
