The sadness can't hide her beauty as the princess stumbles through the throngs
And after all that he's seen and heard it's strange that he can feel his heart
She walks through the mayhem ever steady in her stride
And she carries her head high although her heart's about to cry
Chorus
Princesses lost and queens adrift
Beautiful palaces and happy lives giving way to loneliness and lies

She meets his steady gaze wondering where this road leads
He wishes he had the words to tell her something that would make her feel alright
He walks back alone distractions taking him on journeys even through the highs and lows
The princess never forgotten no no never forgotten
Sometimes it takes him to places he wishes he'd never been
Sometimes he finds girls that he wishes he'd never seen

Princesses lost and queens adrift
Beautiful palaces and happy lives giving way to loneliness and lies

In another land in another time she would find her rightful throne
But the princess stumbles on alone
He doesn't know what to say to the girl as she struggles ohhhh
To make sense of a life she wasn't meant to live

A princess she was born and a princess she'll be
Dangers on the road and it's is long and weary

He'll write out something meaningless as soon as it's said
Wishing that his princess finds her rightful place

Waiting for the day when she'll be set free
Her heart full of joy and no more misery

He waits with patience cradles the pain in his heart
He holds on to the future and hopes that it never departs

Neither him, nor the princess
Nor the lonely princesses and solitary princes
Living in hope, in wait for the time when our destiny awakes

Princesses lost and queens adrift
Beautiful palaces and happy lives giving way to loneliness and lies
