Reading tales about
Damsels in distress
Oh will I ever find my princess
Or will I just give in and believe
That there’s no happiness for me
In this land, in this world, on this earth
No it can’t be true

[Chorus]
There’s no princesses in the world
They’re all trapped in books
Or inside my head
Oh why wasn’t I told
Now all my fantasies, all my hopes and dreams
Are dead

Let’s all dance around badly
Run around madly
Til we find what we’re hoping to find

But all my fairy tale
Fantasies
Are dead to me
Specifically because

[Chorus]

Don’t know where to go
Cause no one’s here with me at all
But I don’t wanna slip
I don’t wanna slide
I don’t wanna fall
I just want to hide

I don’t wanna slip
I don’t wanna break
I don’t wanna fall in love again
Be-cause

[Chorus]

So stop lying to me
I know what I see
And what I see is this

There’s no princesses in the world
No there’s no princesses
Nor knights or ladies fair
So I don’t care
Because I know that you don’t exist

No there’s no princesses
So don’t try to tell me there is
Cause if I know one thing
It’s this

There’s no hope or dreams
Just sadness it seems
That’s how it looks to be
So please don’t read out my story
Because I know how it ends
And there’s no happy ending for me…
