| When she was younger, she would pretend
|
| That her bedroom was a castle, she was fairest in the land
|
| And she got older, and it all changed
|
| There was no time for make-believe and all the magic slipped away
|
| Until the light in her eyes it was all but gone
|
| 'Cause all the dreams that she had turned out to be wrong
|
| So keep your head up, princess, 'fore your crown falls
|
| Know these voices in your head will be your downfall
|
| I know it gets so hard, but you don’t got far to go
|
| Yeah, keep your head up, princess, it’s a long road
|
| And the path leads right to where they won’t go
|
| I know it hurts right now, but I know you’ll make it home
|
| So keep your head up
|
| Yeah, keep your head up
|
| And now she’s grown up, works at a bar
|
| She traded makeshift gowns for serving rounds from sunrise 'til it’s dark
|
| And all her friends got someone to hold
|
| And she’s got no one else, still not prepared to make it on her own
|
| And now the light in her eyes it’s now all but gone
|
| 'Cause all the dreams that she had turned out to be wrong
|
| So keep your head up, princess, 'fore your crown falls
|
| Know these voices in your head will be your downfall
|
| I know it gets so hard, but you don’t got far to go
|
| Yeah, keep your head up, princess, it’s a long road
|
| And the path leads right to where they won’t go
|
| I know it hurts right now, but I know you’ll make it home
|
| So keep your head up
|
| Yeah, keep your head up
|
| One day you’ll find your way back to the start
|
| One day you’ll live in your dreams
|
| One day you’ll wake up, and girl, you’ll be a queen
|
| So keep your head up, princess, 'fore your crown falls
|
| Know these voices in your head will be your downfall
|
| I know it gets so hard, but you don’t got far to go
|
| Yeah, keep your head up, princess, it’s a long road
|
| And the path leads right to where they won’t go
|
| I know it hurts right now, but I know you’ll make it home
|
| So keep your head up
|
| Yeah, keep your head up |
