Princess

Just turned seven, half past eleven
She bawlin’ at the bedroom mirror with the curls tied up
How could they know, how could they know

Chest on fire, holds up the wires
She wonders were they meant to be red, no they said blue
How could she know, how could she know

Get up little girl, we’re only minutes from your coronation
The whole family’s attending, bring your best behavior
Concentrated, obediеnt, she stands
‘Cause what other choicе does she have

Princess, gown and all, you got the life she wants
Perfect, beloved, you get everything in your
Fairytale, written in detail, happy ever after
Bear the dress, free the curls
Swear a truth while crossing fingers
She decides, to gain her kingdom
At what price, at what price

Just turned eleven, half before seven
She bawlin’ in the bathroom, avoiding adults at dinner
Nobody knows, nobody knows

Small talk beckons, what’s she gonna tell them
When a little red wire shines amongst the blue
Then they will know, then they’ll all know

Get out little girl, we’re only minutes from your celebration
The whole village is arriving, have a good performance
Dance with balance and elegance
She’s told it’s the only choice so she goes

Princess, gown and all, you got the life she wants
Perfect, beloved, you get everything in your
Fairytale, written in detail, happy ever after
Bear the dress, free the curls
Swear a truth while crossing fingers
She decides, to gain her kingdom

Look at her, insecure
Look at her, so eager to serve, serve
Hiding hurt, look at her, her, her
Somebody tell her, just be yourself
Can somebody tell her, no matter what, what
She is beautiful, could somebody tell her so

Hey princess, gown and all, she’ll live the life you’ve got
Perfect, beloved, more than everything in your
Fairytale, written in detail, happy ever after
Skip the dress, tie the curls
Own your truth with open fingers
She decides, to gain her kingdom
At no price, at no price
