You always denied it,
To anyone who would listen
It was never going to happen
You weren't a

He listened,
He never doubted,
He never offered to rescue you,
(Like everyone else had)
He didn't act

No one did.
Not even him.

You didn't tell anyone
You had your pride
You had your wits
You had your brain
Wasn't that enough?
No prince was going to come
Pull you off the floor
And tell you it's alright

So you waited
And girl, was that the smartest thing to do?
You kept falling
But to everyone else
You just soared upwards
:~:
One day though,
You had to swallow your pride
You had to hold his hand and tell him you need him
There's no point lying, is there girl?
:~:
So,
You crept up and whispered in his ear
And told him
Sometimes a princess
Needs a prince
(And duct tape certainly helped as well,
For mending broken hearts)
Then you left
Hoping he'd come
:~:
Hold on tight girl
Cause one day your prince will come
Sweep you off your feet
Tell you it's all okay
You just gotta hold on
Till then

He came
He threw down a rope
With a hand and a smile

He was always going to help
Waiting in the wings
For the day you'd come down

Who better,
Really,
To rescue someone,
(Who didn't need it,)
Than the one
Who was going to do it,
All along.
