the princess you knew

I was just a little girl,

When you said goodbye.

I didn't understand

The tears in your eyes.

You held me close,

You whispered my name.

Said someday we'd meet again.

I learned how to fight.

I learned how to stand.

But I'd trade it all

To hold your hand.

I don't want the crown.

I don't want the throne.

I don't want a world

Where I stand alone.

I don't want the glory.

I don't want the name.

I just want my mother

To hold me again.

I crossed every ocean.

I searched every shore.

Just hoping someday

You'd open that door.

And when I found you,

I knew it was true.

For one little moment,

I was still with you.

I held your hand.

I said goodbye.

I told you I loved you

One last time.

I don't want the crown.

I don't want the throne.

I don't want forever

If I'm here alone.

No matter the title.

No matter what I do.

I'll always be

yes i'll always be

forever i'll be

The princess you knew.
