We were both young when I first saw you In rose and thorn, hiding from the guards You spun your tales Of knights in armor and dragon scales See you now, as you're led in your ball gown See you fade underneath the crown Your eyes are stone Just like the castle you call your home And once upon a time, you wrote us happy endings Where I'd take you away from all the thrones and kings Have you forgotten how I loved you How you promised your life to me? And I said Try and escape me, you and I are all alone Drive me crazy, all you have to do is run I'll be your villain, sweet little princess Just like your stories Tell me how this one ends So you run out to the gardens we met in Are you hoping that I'll find you again? You hide, I seek Your heartbeat sounds like you're in love with me And once upon a time feels so long ago How they pulled me from you while you were screaming no I swore an oath to you that day that I'd never let you go You realize There's no escaping, you will never be alone I'll be waiting in the shadows where you go Neither your crown, nor your father, nor your goddess Nor your old stories can Save you from this mess Is this a nightmare or is it just the sweetest dream? Are you frightened or relieved? In life or in death, you've always been my weakness Just like your stories Tell me how this one ends The memories are faded Once upon a time, has gone and won't come around The Moon is waning Do you hope to run or do you hope to be found? And I said Will you be happy losing yourself here alone? (How can I make you happy?) Won't you choose me? Leave it all behind and run I've lost you before, please don't make me leave Her crown on the floor, she reaches for me and says You kept me waiting, I’ve been feeling so alone I've been praying for you and you've finally come This is the one where the villain saves the princess It's a love story Baby just say yes
