You were looking for your damsel

I was waiting for my prince

It's been years in the making

Ain't anywhere near the ending

Got tired of pretending to be asleep

I'd decided that I'd just look for my prince

You got angry and protested at me with distress

But hey I'm a damsel not a princess

Passed hills and mountains and towns faraway

We traveled for miles, a night and a day

You looked for the maiden with the hair of gold

And eyes of deep blue, that's what I was told

Slowly but sure, deeper and true

I can't deny that I've fallen for you

But that parchment given by your fairy godmother

Reminds me that you are meant for another

You wondered why old damsels don't exist

I turned to look away, I clenched my fists

I want to say something but I can't move my lips

Why don't you know that they become a witch?

I can feel the magic course through my veins

My hair's become black, my skin going pale

My time's almost up, it's almost the end

I can feel it so near, but I don't know when

There was a time when I wish I could change

My hair to gold like that fairy foretold

And for my eyes to be blue as deep as the sea

Instead of black orbs that I have with me

My cursed hand had turned her to ashes

For a minute, in your face, something flashes

I looked at your face full of fear

This must be it, my end is near

It doesn't have to be this way

Why can't you let me go on my way?

I'm trying to let you go right now

But you're not making it easier for me somehow

I fled, I ran not looking back

I'm releasing you now from my grasp

I'm going to do what should've been fulfilled

To complete the spell that was against my will

Travel by horse for seven days and seven nights

To a far-away kingdom lost in time

There, in ageless sleep

Lies the one with hair of sunshine gold

Eyes as blue as the sea

I don't know what you did; I don't know why you did

But I felt the warmth on my lips

Opening my eyes, a puzzled look on my face

My questions get lost in your tight embrace

I see the beginning within your touch

And the happily ever after we craved so much

But why does it feel like it's not complete

Like it’s not enough, and something's amiss

A doe-eyed boy stood still in the shadows

Though he should be jealous, he feels no sorrow

But why is it that they found each other so easily

While he had to suffer this long, endless misery

Somewhere behind him a deep voice speaks

His majesty, a prince, and the lad start to freak

But maybe, just maybe, it could be him

That'd take away the pain and replace it with bliss.
