Princess Song

From a distance your life seems so wonderful 

Shining in admiration 

It’s so beautiful 

You meet their demands

You fall into their hands

You’ll never understand 

But it’s wonderful 

Oh so wonderful 

Why do you sacrifice yourself 

For the approval of everybody else

Why do you need all those nice things to feel loved? 

Why do you want to be a princess when you grow up?

Well its all about falling into some kind of predetermined role 

Playing a part designed for you by everyone else in the world 

You seem so happy, you seem so oblivious and dense

Half the time I’m miserable, it does’t make any sense 

Blessed ignorance I guess it’s a gift 

Nobody can take anything from you 

You’ve already given it all away 

Nobody can hurt you 

Because you’re untouchable 

Why do you sacrifice yourself 

For the approval of everybody else

Why do you need all those nice things to feel loved? 

Why do you want to be a princess when you grow up?

I wonder what would it take to take it all away 

Expectation, expectation ingrained in us 

Since the very first day 

I recognize your pain 

I recognize your face 

From a distance your life seems so wonderful 

Shining in admiration 

It’s so beautiful
