Paper Princess

When I was a child

I used to wish that I could fly

Like a bird from tree to tree

High above the land

Spreading my wings to feel the wind of freedom

Climbing into the clouds so white and so pure

Gently caressing my feathers and soothing my soul

But they broke into my dreams

Tearing all apart

But they burnt my wings

Pulling me down

And they shouted and they howled

To teach me their lies

I am the Paper Princess

So fragile and so sad

I have been crumbled

I’ve been torn by their lies

So if you take my hand

And if you dive into my eyes

I’ll welcome you

In my paper wonderland

When I was alone at night I used to wish that I could dance

With the flakes of winter snow flying all around

I used to play with immaculate unicorns

Riding across the grass, the fields and the streams

Waltzing with the leaves that fall down from the weeping willows

But they told me it was love

And they did it for my own good

And they said it was my fault

Hitting me down

And they shouted and they howled

Until I endlessly cried

I am the Paper Princess

So fragile and so sad

I have been crumbled

I’ve been torn by their lies

So if you take my hand

And if you dive into my eyes

I’ll welcome you

In my paper wonderland
