The Prince

You looked in from the ocean,
I looked out from the shore.
Curious and captive
I knocked upon your door.

You stood aside, you let me in,
your house was warm and dry.
You gave me things I did not need.
These things I leave behind.

Save a Prince for her,
save a tear for me,
and let her Prince be everything
that I could never be.
Save a Prince for her,
a Prince for her.

If you survive your perfection,
I'll hold on to mine.
I'll be faithful to our beauty,
the healing comes in time.

Hold me like a mountain,
hold me like dust.
The things I want are out of reach,
but reach for them I must.

Save a Prince for her,
save a tear for me,
and let her Prince be everything
that I could never be.
Save a Prince for her,
a Prince for her.

You looked in from the ocean,
I looked out from the shore.
Curious and captive
I knocked upon your door.

You stood aside, you let me in,
your house was warm and dry.
You gave me things I did not need.
These things I leave behind.

Save a Prince for her,
save a tear for me,
and let her Prince be everything
that I could never be.
Save a Prince for her,
a Prince for her.

Save a Prince,
save a Prince for her.

Save a tear for me.
