Just another song about heartbreak and sorrow Another song about lost tomorrows Another sad lady, in front of a mirror Another day struggling just to be here Another love story ended in shame He’s off to another girl, with only myself to blame I loved you too much, too fast, too long You told me I was too young, too pure, too wrong Now I’ve grown, in more ways than one And now you’re still off in the world having fun The love story has ended, never to begin again But I know who I am, and I know where I’ve been It was a spree, a song, a little fling But not any ordinary thing And I’m still another broken heart Trying to make a fresh new start Another sad, broken case Frightened to move in or out of place

Unrequited
Long live the Queen Is all that’s heard above the screams And the parapet crumbled And her dress was torn And all they could say Was ‘we were never warned’ And the Queen lived long But her heart died long ago And she could never stop it And she never stopped to think why And that parapet still crumbled And the dress faded more The King went of to war And the Prince went off to sea And the daughters stayed to pray And the Queen had nothing to say The poets dreamt in words And the minstrels spun their songs And the jesters told their stories But the Queen was still a stone The King lost the war The Prince was lost at sea The daughters prayers were heard And the Queen saw it all from afar And the kingdom went on And people lived in peace And the parapet stayed crumbled And the dresses stayed in the dark
