A Princess Undone
The day is my enemy, the night, my friend,
I walk outside, you're lighting a cancer stick,
And a just shake my head, laugh, then walk away.
I have to walk away, or else I'm doomed,
Cause if I say I'll have to look in your eyes again,
That just leads to shaking and being unable to speak.
I could never tell you, I'm just not that brave,
They say I over think us, and should think with my heart instead of my head,
But I have been hurt so much, that I'm afraid of things.
I can't think with my heart, because I might get hurt,
Can't breathe right, because I like you too much,
And I can't say what I'm feeling, cause I won't lose you-not now.
Please don't say "I like her alot", unless you mean it,
Don't pretend there is nothing there, when we both know there is,
You say I'm spoiled, and that is half true.
I have never had a true love who loved me back,
Not having one makes me sad and scared,
Because being sad and lonely makes a princess like me only half-spoiled.
If you say that you love me too, then your accussations will be right,
A princess can be completely spoiled if angels like you loved them back,
I will not try too hard to win you, for one reason.
As the storybooks say, the prince is supposed to win over the princess, right?
And so Prince Christopher, do your job, before it's too late.
