산타를 믿지 않게 된 순간부터
시간이 빨리 흐르게 된 걸까
까맣게 잊고 지낸 옛 친구들이
내 기억 속보다 더 작아진 느낌

어제와 똑같은 오늘이라
슬슬 지겨워져 설렘은 없는 걸
망가진 인형에 말을 걸어
날 잊은 듯 답이 없어

동화 속의 여왕처럼
난 어른인데 그게 다인 걸
Oh, 모든 동화처럼
해피엔딩들만
있다고 믿었던
아이처럼 아직 꿈꿔
아이처럼 아직 꿈꿔

호기심은 금세 꺼져버리지
알고 싶지 않은 얘기들이 넘쳐흘러서
다들 피터팬이 되기를 원해
예전엔 그랬지 또 지겨운 소리 (지겨운 소리)

솔직해지기가 어려워서
뭐든 숨기고 봐 당연한 것처럼
상처를 받는 게 바보 같아
혼자만의 비밀이 돼

동화 속의 여왕처럼
난 어른인데 그게 다인 걸
Oh, 모든 동화처럼
해피엔딩들만
있다고 믿었던
아이처럼 아직 꿈꿔

그대로 시간이 두고 간
악몽은 오늘도 찾아와
뒤를 돌면 서 있어
진짜 내 모습이야

내가 알던 동화 속의 여왕처럼
난 어른인데 그게 다인 걸 (Oh)
Oh, 모든 동화처럼 (처럼 처럼)
해피엔딩들만 (Oh)
있다고 믿었던
꿈만큼은 아직 나도 똑같은 걸 (똑같은 걸인, 가타)

그 어린애가 남아있어 (어린 다인처럼)
Oh, 모든 동화처럼 (동화처럼만)
해피엔딩들만 (해피엔딩들만)
있다고 믿었던
아이처럼 아직 꿈꿔 (아직 꿈꿔)

## Translation

From the moment I stopped believing in "Santa"
Did time go by so fast?
My old friends who I completely forgotten
It feels smaller from what I remember

It's the same day as yesterday
I'm slowly getting tired of it, there's no excitement
Just talking to a broken doll
There is no answer as if you forgot me

Like the queen of fairy tales
I'm an adult and that's all
Like all fairy tales
I believed that there were only happy endings
Still dreaming like a child
Still dreaming like a child

Curiosity fades away quickly
There are overflowing things I don't want to know
Everyone wants to be "Peter Pan"
It used to be like that, sounds boring again

To be honest, It's difficult
To hide everything, making it natural
I think I'm such a fool to get hurt
It becomes my own secret

Like the queen of fairy tales
I'm an adult and that's all
Like all fairy tales
I believed that there were only happy endings
Still dreaming like a child

As time has passed
The nightmare comes again today
I turn around and stand there
It's really me

Like the queen of fairy tales I knew
I'm an adult and that's all
Like all fairy tales
I believed that there were only happy endings
Even if I dream, I'm still the same

The little girl remains
Like all fairy tales
I believed that there were only happy endings
