Princess - Martin Phipps & The Chamber Orchestra of London

The princess and the liar Her dress is catchin' fire Daddy's little lemon ain't All she's meant to be I almost made you jump The trust you so desire My love is tasting bitter 'Cause it almost set you free The princess and the liar Her dress is catchin' fire Daddy's little lemon ain't All she seems to me You're heading for the crash It'll be right here tomorrow I'll even pay for gas If you wreck us gracefully The princess and the liar Her dress is catchin' fire Daddy's little lemon ain't All she's meant to be

We've all been told when we were little We could grow up and live a fairy tale But no one ever bothered telling us that The story book ending never started out well Why's there always gotta be a hero? What if Cinderella had to save herself? It's not like we don't need a little help But maybe it's a good thing to go through little hell Now I'm laying in bed tonight With my best friend sleeping on my couch She got kicked out of her house cause she finally came out And all the riches in the kingdom won't fix that We'll walk through fire and ice Come out the other side with diamonds in our eyes So princess, hold your head high Even if you have to cry Don't let your crown fall Don't let your crown fall Your script is in the making You can hold the aching but Don't let your crown fall Don't let your crown fall down We've been dreaming the good life While we're living the real life We've been dreaming the good life While we're living the real life Supermodels lighten up the billboards And tell her live like she's on the runway She doesn't know she's not the only one having a hard time Liven up, there's something some day So keep your Chanel but it's not gonna be enough And even looking like Gisele, won't cover up the bruises So wear your scars proud, we're screaming loud Stop the abusing We'll walk through fire and ice Come out the other side with diamonds in our eyes So princess, hold your head high Even if you have to cry Don't let your crown fall Don't let your crown fall Your script is in the making You can hold the aching but Don't let your crown fall Don't let your crown fall down Little girls always grow older Your story is a long way from over We're lost before we're found We're lost before we're found Gotta be weak to get stronger Learn how to breathe under water This is our battleground This is our battleground All the houses are quiet and the fences are white The status and the pictures that they post are blind But we're all going through it so why do we do it? Why do we hide? So princess, hold your head high Even if you have to cry Don't let your crown fall Don't let your crown fall Your script is in the making You can hold the aching but Don't let your crown fall Don't let your crown fall down Little girls always grow older Your story is a long way from over We're lost before we're found We're lost before we're found Gotta be weak to get stronger Learn how to breathe under water This is our battleground This is our battleground Why's there always gotta be a hero? What if Cinderella had to save herself?
