You see once upon a time
There was a prince he had to make a choice.
He had this girl that he loved.
He really dug her voice.
She took his soul with the promise they'll never be alone.
Gave up his kingdom.
Gave it to her told her "Take me home."
So she took him to a place where they could live at peace.
They really loved each other but she didn't feel at ease.
You see when he was a prince he was so much more appealin'.
Now that he's a peasant she can leave without a fucking reason.
So one night he was bleeding by the river and he met this little peasant girl.
She was plain and simple really. She could make him smile without tryin'.
Make him laugh. Stop his cryin'.
Dry his eyes and give him something that he never thought of findin'.

You put on your
You put up defenses.
Whatever you want to.
Because I'm here to protect you.

So he kept going to the river fallin' deeper for this girl.
And his girlfriend got so jealous that she sent a search across the world.
Took him back promised everything would be okay.
He took one look in her eyes and the pain washed away.
And she held his hand through rainy days and grassy fields.
Well the peasant girl got so numb that she forgot to feel.
Till one day the prince came back knocking at her door.
He looked her straight in the eyes and said "I think I love you more."
She just stood there like a baby dear so he took her in his arms.
Held her close kissed away her fears and told her "Don't go."
She said "What about your lover though? You love her don't you baby boy?
You need to make your mind up because I'm not your little puppet toy."

You put on your
You put defenses.
Whatever you want to.
Because I'm here to protect you.

So now he's got to choose who to break.
His first love or the pretty peasant girl by the lake.
His first love is a pretty country girl with an attitude.
His second love is so innocent. She keeps him laughin' too.
When he met the country girl she made him feel alive.
When he met the second girl he never felt alone.
She held him close said "Baby please don't forsake me.
I'm like glass. I will shatter please don't baby."
She's from the city but they go together perfectly.
But the truth is the country girl gives him certainty.
So here's his choice and it's a choice he needs to make.
And I think he better make it quick cause I don't think they want to wait.

You put on your
You put up defenses.
Whatever you want to.
Because I'm here to protect you.

You put on your
You put up defenses.
Whatever you want to.
Because I'm here to protect you.

So take it easy.
