Keep Your Head Up Princess

When she was younger, she would pretend
That her bedroom was a castle
She was fairest in the land
And she got older, and it all changed
There was no time for make believe
And all the magic slipped away
Until the light in her eyes, it was all but gone
'Cause all the dreams that she had turned out to be wrong
So keep your head up princess 'fore your crown falls
Know these voices in your head will be your downfall
I know it gets so hard but you don't got far to go
Yeah, keep your head up princess, it's a long road
And the path leads right to where they won't go
I know it hurts right now but I know you'll make it home
So keep your head up, yeah keep your head up
And now she's grown up, works at a bar
She traded makeshift gowns for serving rounds
From sunrise 'til it's dark
And all her friends got someone to hold
And she's got no one there, still not prepared
To make it on her own
And now the light in her eyes, it's now all but gone
'Cause all the dreams that she had turned out to be wrong
So keep your head up princess 'fore your crown falls
Know these voices in your head will be your downfall
I know it gets so hard but you don't got far to go
Yeah, keep your head up princess, it's a long road
And the path leads right to where they won't go
I know it hurts right now but I know you'll make it home
So keep your head up, yeah keep your head up
One day, you'll find your way back to the start
One day, you'll live in your dreams
One day, you'll wake up and girl, you'll be a queen
So keep your head up princess 'fore your crown falls
Know these voices in your head will be your downfall
I know it gets so hard but you don't got far to go
Yeah, keep your head up princess, it's a long road
And the path leads right to where they won't go
I know it hurts right now but I know you'll make it home
So keep your head up, yeah keep your head up
