Prince Charming

She lit the fire that spread
Through the whole of me
I played the scapegoat to a
Scared young girl who cannot see
She severed arteries and veins
Connecting my heart to my brain
A hallow cathedral without faith
Is where my body lay
But if somehow, someway
I could make her see her grave mistake
And aid her through her sickness,
Prove to her our love was far from fake
Then maybe I could feel whole again
In heart and brain
Instead I'll fall apart to pieces in the bed
That we had lain
I thought that every girl
Had dreams of their Prince Charming
Come to whisk them away
A knight in shining armor
Was the part that I had played
But no one ever expects
The princess to escape the palace
And flee the scene
Only to return to the tower
And play servant at the dragon's feet
But if somehow, someway
I could make her see her grave mistake
And aid her through her sickness,
Prove to her our love was far from fake
Then maybe I could feel whole again
In heart and brain
Instead I'll fall apart to pieces in the bed
That we had lain
I'd slay the dragon in the tower
With my bare hands for you
Just say the word
And your Prince Charming
Will come to your rescue
