I must go, I can't stay
Headaches coming back again
Felt real good for two, three days
But now it's back and I can't stay
Lil' kids, here and there
A young adult who thinks that he's a man
A princess held in high desire
And every other stokes his fire
And when he looks back at his laughs
Feels like a fool that's blown his chance
Now he bubbles up with hate
For this is how he compensates
An unknown need to be the show
He keeps his eyes on where she goes
Still young - thinks life's a fantasy
That his dreams will happen if he just believes
A grip that's tightened through the years
Some days his anger turns to tears
But then once again he fills with rage
Our hero and the girl he saves
Stops her conversing with another
Never to see things from another angle
Shown only what he lets her see
Our Princess young and so naive
Shades are drawn and glasses tinted
A filtered view of every instant
Will Our Princess ever see the light of day,
much to our hero's dismay . . .
