Lyrics
Climb on up
To mommas bed
It’s just us tonight
Don’t need a book and snuggle in
I’m gonna share a story which I didn’t have to say
About a girl who fought with all her heart but still had to walk away.
Once upon a time
He loved me
Once upon
I loved him too
It all fell apart in a moment
Lord I wish it wasn’t true
Cause You deserved the perfect family
the fairytales you know so well
Instead of sittin here listening to the story
I wish I didn’t have to tell
I know it’s hard
To see mommy cry
But I promise you were
We’re all gonna be alright
And I need you know
That you will always be loved
You’re the very best chapters
In the story of us
Once upon a time
He loved me
Once upon
I loved him too
It all fell apart in a moment
Lord I wish it wasn’t true
Cause You deserved the perfect family
the fairytales you know so well
Instead of sittin here listening to the story
I wish I didn’t have to tell
Now it’s time to pick up all the broken pieces
So that we can be the story you believe in
Once upon it was us 3
Starting over all brand new
Dreaming of a new happy ending
The one I always wanted for you
Cause you deserve the perfect family
the fairytales you know so well
Instead of sittin here listening to the story
I wish I didn’t have to tell

I’m currently going through a child custody battle with my ex boyfriend and this song breaks me down. We have an almost 3 year old daughter. We were together 4 1/2 years and never, never did I think I’d be on this side of the fence.. thank you for writing this Jana 🥺

[@magickalmundane]

Going through a divorce myself and honestly this song just hits different when you’re in the same position. Sending love to you, mama.

Going through one myself after 30 years

[@andreadenise2539]

It sure does. Going through it after 17 years of marriage. It was abusive so I don’t miss him, but my heart breaks for my kids Bc that’s not what I had in mind when I chose to get married and have kids. I wanted them to have their family together forever, and now they get to be from a “broken home”. That’s what hurts.

[@juliejenkins8897]

@@andreadenise2539 I just want to say the broken home was when he was abusing you, now they will live in a loving home without all of the bad that was between you 2.

It certainly does. I am trying to navigate my emotions through my separation but having to tell my kids will be tough.

Currently separated for my husband heading for divorce. I came across this song one day randomly and its exactly how i feel about giving my daughter a fairytale life with parents who are together. Ill always blame myself for my part in it. I grew up without a father. I never wanted that for her, but now shes going through it. He was barely present when he was here, but he says he wants to be apart of he life but has literally only seen her a few times these last 8 months

Mine decided to leave after 20 years. Leaving me with two shellshocked middle school kids. It’s been 3 years, no dating for me either. I couldn’t ad more chaos to their lives.

I was 9 months old. And it may not be my place to say this but as a little girl knowing what it's like to be such a young kid going through that, hold him a lot and tell him about his dad and don't ever let him wonder who his daddy was. It makes you struggle with your own identity not knowing someone so important in your life.

[@cindym.3286]

Beautiful song and Beautiful video ❤️ many of us divorced women with children can definitely relate to this. The one thing that always hurts the most is the thought that we failed in giving the kids the family they deserve, but just as your song says, we're all gonna be okay, maybe even better not having to grow up in a toxic environment. Keep being strong for them and be strong for you too! God has a beautiful plan for us and I know it's better than we can imagine. ❤️

[@victoriawilliams5698]

Definitely hits right in my heart, being that I was left in my 20’s with 3 little children. Feelings of abandonment, effected us, as complete deviation! The most heartbreaking, is how you feel so alone, but GOD helped me through it, now my children have children of their own. The blessings of having these precious moments with our angel children do get us through the most difficult of times. This song touched me so much! Thank you! What doesn’t completely destroy us is the fact that we have so much more to live for in our Precious gifts of our children! ❤🙏

[@victoriawilliams5698]

I had 3 miscarriages in between my first 3 children, one of them at 6 1/2 months along in my 20,s yrs, and the fact that I already had those losses was a deviation way beyond anything I could have thought I would be able to endure, and what kept me going through the abandonment issues were my 3 angel children which helped keep me grounded, focused on the journey ahead. When we are in the thick, dark forest of this life, trying to find our way finding a light opening up so we can see clearly enough to finally navigate the path, which God has prepared for us to continue on, as it’s not only for our growth, but for us to realize we can forge on, with more confidence than we ever felt possible. May you have the secure feeling of your self worth as daughter of our creator to be strong, fearless, relentless on your journey going forward!! 🙏❤️

Beautiful Jana. And you did everything you do for those babies. You are a better woman for it and they will know how strong their Mama is and how much she loves them. And always will.

[@amberrigsby9568]

This song gets me every single time I hear it. "You're the very best chapters in the story of us" is my favorite line in this song. Divorce is hard, it's hard on every person in the family. No one ever gets married expecting to get divorced one day. Sometimes despite your best efforts, it just doesn't work out. It's hard, it hurts like hell, but sometimes it's how it has to be. I always tell my kids that their Dad and I didn't work out as husband and wife, but we did work out as parents. Our kids come first before anything else and they know that. They know we love them more and that's all that matters. My heart goes out to anyone who has been through this, or is currently going through it.

[@samanthamccormick2024]

This is just beautifully done. The message to your babies is clear❤ Jana I went through a separation and divorce with our special needs daughter and I am only 32 years old. I was very reliant on other people for most of my life, I never wanted to be alone, I never wanted to have kids, I was very selfish and irresponsible at 25. I was married at 22 to a narcissistic that I had been with since I was 18. I got pregnant at 25, had my daughter at 26 and then my whole world snapped into focus. By 29 I was done with my ex's bullshit and left him with our autistic child in tow. My divorce was finalized Oct 2020. I'm just now starting to enter this phase in my life that I'm finding nyself and I'm empowered, im HEALING. Jana, time and God really DOES heal all things! God sent me my daughter because He knew I needed structure and He knew I needed her. He knew I needed me, and He knew I needed Him. You are doing it! Congratulations Jana, you took your life back and not many people can say they did that!

Absolutely fantastic song! Can definitely relate. Divorce certainly is never easy on adults, let alone the children. So many nights I’d lay awake in bed crying and missing my daughter.

I've been hearing this song on the Highway on Sirius Xm and I has time find out. I know what it's about now. No divorce is easy. I tried to keep mine together but between him on the road and me stuck home with three under 4 it wasn't easy so I made the decision to file for divorce. You have to be happy yourself so your kids will be happy that's what made me do it and him cheating again that was the final straw. This was 26 years ago and I don't regret my decision. So Thank You Jana for telling us this beautiful story ❤❤❤

[@MichaelundCandy]

Oh my gosh, I am here and tears are falling. We had a hard time as well, as we moved to the USA, I was working so hard , always on the road for my company. My wife was at home taking care of the kids. One day after she was home in Germany, she wanted to stay there, after a long talk, by the time she came back home to US, I realized, I was happy to travel meeting a lot of people and she was home with no one to talk, just the kids. So it broke my hard, to realize I wasn’t there at school for the first game or My sons student of the year celebration. I missed a lot, with a lot of talking and being home more often, we saved our marriage. I am so happy, because I woke up just in time. Jana, this song is so beautiful and out of your heart ❤️, I could feel the pain. Looking forward is the only thing we can do in this situation, it is easy to say, but it is like it is. You are a beautiful woman with amazing kids, and one day Mr. Right will be in front of you. Don’t search for him, the universe will guide you, just pay attention to the small signs. Greetings from Germany Michael
