Lyrics
[Intro - 0:00-0:15] ( Hook #1 - Magic Intro)
Twinkle, twinkle, crystal heart
Wish I knew right from the start
That magic fades when morning comes
And Cinderella always runs
Verse 1
You appeared like stardust falling
Through my window, midnight calling
Promised me forever in a glance
Said "close your eyes, let's take this dance"
I believed in every sparkle
Every whispered "you're remarkable"
Painted constellations in your eyes
Never saw through your disguise
Pre-Chorus
Three words like a fairy tale
Make-believe behind a veil
Chorus
Spell me once, I'll fall so deep
Spell me twice, I'll lose my sleep
But when the magic disappears
I'm just a girl drowning in tears
Cast your charm, I'll play along
But enchantments don't last long
Now I'm breaking your control
Spell me once, then let me go
Verse 2
You drew circles round my reason
Changed my heart like changing seasons
Every "darling" felt like moonlight
Every lie dressed up just right
I wore your love like glass slippers
Beautiful but never fitted
Danced until my feet were bleeding
Smiled while slowly self-deleting
Pre-Chorus
Three words were my prison cell
Trapped inside your wishing well
Chorus
Spell me once, I'll fall so deep
Spell me twice, I'll lose my sleep
But when the magic disappears
I'm just a girl drowning in tears
Cast your charm, I'll play along
But enchantments don't last long
Now I'm breaking your control
Spell me once, then let me go
[Bridge - 0:45-1:00] (TikTok Hook #2 - Twinkle Section)
Twinkle, twinkle, dying star
See me clearly from afar
Not a princess, not a dream
Just a person, hear me scream
All your glitter, all your gold
Can't revive what's grown so cold
[Spelling Chant - 2:00-2:15] (TikTok Hook #3)
F-A-I-R-Y-T-A-L-E, goodbye
M-A-G-I-C, watch it die
R-E-A-L, that's what I need
L-O-V-E should set me free
Final Chorus - Transformation
Spell me once, but now I see
Spell me twice, I've found the key
When the magic disappears
I'll be stronger through these tears
Keep your charm, I'm moving on
Real love doesn't need a song
Watch me take back my control
Spell me once, then let me go
Outro
Twinkle, twinkle, I'm reborn
Dancing solo in the dawn
No more spells, no more pretend
This is where my story ends
