And this one is certainly
an interesting story
It starts with an ending

and we're both characters in play
On the same stage
but on a different page

you'll go on to become
the queen of some kingdom

And I'll be that monster of myth
off in some forest, mire or filth

This time around
I'll meet you halfway
and I won't spend my life
lying awake at night

And they'll say
I'm the emerald
missing from your crown

The greatest escapist
the world has ever known

Now it's so clear to me
We should have seen this coming
back at the beginning
We both chose to take this road
to the same place
but at a different pace

This time around
I'll meet you halfway
And I won't spend my life
Lying awake at night

And I'll say
I'm the fabled
one that let you down

The greatest escapist
the world has ever known
