Love In Fairytales

The princess in her tower
Bitter for so long
Angry that she had to wait
For the right one
And not just be saved
Forever hating her prince
before they even met
Because he will rescue her
For her beautiful voice
Not because she is in need
Resentment looks so lovely
When she's trapped and locked away


The prince upon his horse
Not really so courageous
Just out to flee his problems
Not to save his future bride
Never thought to use his riches
To help the ones in need
Only stumbles upon the sound
Of the helpless singing beauty
That will forever hold a grudge
But she looks good
So he will too

And isn't that the point
