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

So I painted a picture of
The things I wanted most
To colour in the darker side of
All my brightest hopes
But there's a monster standing where you should be
So I'll paint you wings
And I'll set you free

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

So I painted a picture of
The things I wanted most
To colour in the darker side of
All my brightest hopes
But there's 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

I painted a picture of
The things I wanted most
To colour in the darker side of
All my brightest hopes
But there's a monster standing where you should be
So I'll paint you wings
And I'll set you free (so she can fly away)

I painted a picture of
The things I wanted most
To colour in the darker side of
All my brightest hopes
But there's a monster standing where you should be
So I'll paint you wings
And I'll set you free
