In the castle halls I pace the stone A golden throne but a heart alone The stars don't speak they just burn and stare A kingdom's mine but who would care I built a bridge of hope and flame But no one's crossed to call my name I wear the waiting crown tonight For a prince who'll never see the light I hold the dream but it's wearing thin The world won't let the story begin Every mirror shows the same old face Searching shadows in an endless chase I wrote my vows on a page of air But the ink fades fast and the page is bare The clock keeps turning it spins too slow How long till I just let it go I wear the waiting crown tonight For a prince who'll never see the light I hold the dream but it's wearing thin The world won't let the story begin
