Once upon a time
In a land close to here
There lived the most beautiful princess in all the land
She ruled the kingdom with a crystal tiara
On top of her head
It was the day that her tiara shattered
That she lost all hope to go on
She took the broken pieces
And tore away and her beautiful, pale skin
Staining herself with crimson
No matter how hard she tried
She couldn't fix her ruined crown
She couldn't put the pieces or her shattered kingdom
Back in place
Once upon a time
There was a prince
Who was the most mighty and the most kind
Prince in all the land
He heard of the princess' troubles
And rode in
On his metaphorical white horse
And carefully picked up the pieces
Of her shattered crown
and broken kingdom
He put them back together
In the most careful manner
And placed the crown back upon her head
Saving her from what she had done
But no matter how carefully the prince placed the tiara
It always hung
Just a little bit crooked
