So-called princes have princesses

But what about all the peasants 

Who can only watch her from afar

While the kingdom slowly breaks their heart

It’s you

That I long for every day

It’s you

That I wish would look my way

There’s so much that I want to say

But I can’t properly explain

How the whole world stops when I hear your name

I’m just looking up now at the stage

And no one can notice anything

When the prince is there making his speech

So I’ll stand here watching all alone

While you break my heart and don’t even know

On the balcony you stand

I tried to reach, reach out my hand

But he has already been through

And there’s nothing I can say or do

It’s you

That I long for every day

But you

Wouldn’t notice me either way

There’s so much that I want to say

But I can’t properly explain

How the whole world stops when I hear your name

I’m just looking up now at the stage

And no one can notice anything

When the prince is there making his speech

So I’ll stand here waiting all alone

While you break my heart and don’t even know

Mm, there’s a reason for everything 

Maybe we’re not to meant to be

I could read a hundred stories

And none of them have you and me

But don’t tell me it shouldn’t hurt

When I’m stranded here in the dirt

While you’re happy, and outlasting every bit of me

My heart’s shattered into pieces

Is it okay if I’m going to break

Right here, right now, I’m not okay

The world is turning while I stay

Stuck in this fabricated heartbreak

Who am I to say anything

I’m just a peasant and you’re a queen

But the heart wants what it can’t have

And I can’t stop loving you like that
