I try so hard to understand
what made you make this choice
letting no one near your heart
for reasons you won't voice

Dodging the phone call
dodging the query
no explanation for
your anti-love theory

What good is life
if the princess locks herself away
High in a tower all alone
until she's old and grey.

So little magic exists
and such little light
when the curtains are never open
and you lose the will to fight

No hero is needed
she doesn't want to be saved
she's safe in her tower
why should the world be braved?

Sometimes the happy endings
are taken away from us
sometimes we all need a tower
when we don't know who to trust
