Treated like a princess

Verse 1

Met my first real love when I was fifteen

The darkest years my eyes had ever seen

Nine years of a hell that tore my life apart

He left me bruised and threw away my heart

Made me feel like nothing, like absolute trash

While my young world burned down into ash

By twenty-four I finally broke away from the door

Though he threatened his own life to trap me once more

Pre-Chorus

And I swore I was done

Swore I'd never be the one

Left out in the cold

Chorus

I just want a love that actually stays

To be treated like a princess for all of my days

To be wanted and missed, not left out in the cold

With a hand that never lets go of my hold

I wanted to be someone's whole world and their pride

But wishes don't come true even when soulmates collide

Post-Chorus

(Wanted and missed)

(Not left in the cold)

(Wanted and missed)

(A hand to hold)

Verse 2

At twenty-six my second one entered the frame

I truly hoped it wouldn't end up the same

But everything crumbled, it all fell apart

As the daily screaming matches started to start

He faded away, didn't want to spend time

A nightmare relationship running out of line

No matter what I tried the distance grew wide

Until we ended it all and walked to separate sides

Pre-Chorus

And I swore I was done

Swore I'd never be the one

Left out in the cold

Chorus

I just want a love that actually stays

To be treated like a princess for all of my days

To be wanted and missed, not left out in the cold

With a hand that never lets go of my hold

I wanted to be someone's whole world and their pride

But wishes don't come true even when soulmates collide

Post-Chorus

(Wanted and missed)

(Not left in the cold)

(Wanted and missed)

(A hand to hold)

Verse 3

Now I look at my current love and I start to cry

Thinking about how you used to be, back when you'd try

I thought you were the soulmate I read about in books

But now I'm four hours away giving the phone heavy looks

I wish you would treat me like a princess again

Instead of leaving me lonely where the shadows begin

Waiting by the screen just to get a small text

Wondering if you're tired of me, wondering what's next

Bridge

I swear the universe is out to get me this time

Like wanting to be happy is some kind of crime

Tired of being lonely, frightened, and scared

Just to watch it all crumble while nobody cared

Chorus

I just want a love that actually stays

To be treated like a princess for all of my days

To be wanted and missed, not left out in the cold

With a hand that never lets go of my hold

I wanted to be someone's whole world and their pride

But wishes don't come true even when soulmates collide

Post-Chorus

(Wanted and missed)

(Not left in the cold)

(Wanted and missed)

(A hand to hold)

Outro

I just wanted someone to cherish me, love me for who I am

To make the time, to show up, to give a damn

To truly want me around, to have me by their side

Instead of finding a cold corner where I have to hide

I just wanted to be treated like a princess every single day

Pick me up, hold me tight, wash the terror away

Wipe my tears when I'm scared, just be there for me

And I'd give a love as deep as the sea
