When will the princess figure it out
She ain’t worth saving
Heavy the head that bears the crown of my mistaken
Apathy for sympathy
I was never good enough to be
Anything but remedy to all of your constant pressing needs
And I never learned

So
I painted a picture of
The things I wanted most
To color in the darker side
Of all my brightest hopes
But there was a monster standing
Where you should be
So I’ll paint you wings
And I’ll set you free
Yeah

I was a pawn in all of your plans
You kept me busy
Locked behind your chambered doors
When you felt frisky
Until you got sick of me
I was never good enough to be
Anything but remedy to all of your constant pressing needs
And I never learned

So
I painted a picture of
The things I wanted most
To color in the darker side
Of all my brightest hopes
But there was a monster standing
Where you should be
So I’ll paint you wings
And I’ll set you free

When will the princess figure it out
She ain’t worth saving
And when will the world
Get over all her misbehaving
Will we ever learn?

So
I painted a picture of
The things I wanted most
To color in the darker side
Of all my brightest hopes
But there was a monster standing
Where you should be
So I’ll paint you wings
And I’ll set you free
You can fly away

I painted a picture of
The things I wanted most
To color in the darker side
Of all my brightest hopes
But there was a monster standing
Where you should be
So I’ll paint you wings
And I’ll set you free
You can fly away
