lyrics

PRINCESS

(It was all a lie)
It was not my first time
I was looking for a sign
I think I located a mine
I went for the entire pie

She said she’d walk with me another mile
We were only about knee high
It wasn’t really hard to climb
The whole thing only cost a dime

I thought about my how it wasn’t right
And how the sucker-punch feels the next night
I never stick around to hear their cries
I only got what I needed that night

It’s so much harder when they’re awful kind
Sincerity from hearts to mine
Paying back with a deceitful smile
And a couple of clever lines

She’s worth much more than all of this
(Sometimes you’ve got to guard your heart)
She doesn’t know why she exists
(Sometimes you’ve got to search your heart)

Oh God, I hope that she’s alright
(She’s living with a broken heart)
Her worth is more than she can know
(I pray that she will not lose hope)

(Several years have past)
And now I have one of my own
And she is almost grown
She’s always talking on the phone
And making eyes as she wiggles her toes

I found a letter from a boy last night
It said that she was looking really fine
And then he asked “hey, would you be mine?”
He seemed like a guy I used to be like

He said I heard about a place we can go
where no one will ever know
She said “I know of a place you can go”
She said “There’s room at the back of the line”

As she walked away she felt fine
That kind of guy is such a waste of time
This kind of girl is hard to find
It’s unbelievable that she could be mine
