And this one is certainly

an interesting story.

It starts with an ending



and we're both characters in play.

On the same stage

but on a different page



you'll go on to become

the queen of some kingdom.



And I'll be that monster of myth

off in some forest, mire or filth.



This time around

I'll meet you halfway

and I won't spend my life

lying awake at night.



And they'll say

I'm the emerald

missing from your crown.



The greatest escapist

the world has ever known.



Now it's so clear to me.

We should have seen this coming

back at the beginning.

We both chose to take this road

to the same place

but at a different pace.



This time around

I'll meet you halfway

And I won't spend my life

Lying awake at night



And I'll say

I'm the fabled

one that let you down.



The greatest escapist

the world has ever known.
