Ode to a Dead Princess

You know what they say is kind of true
Tough times don't last but tough people do
I wonder if you ever knew or if anyone ever told you
I know it's hard but you're gonna be OK

Princess, dry your eyes
I don't wanna see you cry
You no longer have to hide
It's better on the other side (on the other side)
On the other side

Baby keep your head up

Head up, chin up, dry your eyes

The life you deserve
So simple, so pure (no more headache)
No more headache, no more heartache, no more screaming
I know for sure
Keep dreaming of castles
Play with your dolls, babe
They don't wanna get involved
'Cause they don't really know your heart (they don't know)
You're feeling forsaken, baby you're mistaken
'Cause somewhere out there, some people do care

Princess, dry your eyes
I don't wanna see you cry
You no longer have to hide
It's better on the other side (on the other side)
On the other side

Baby keep your head up

Head up, chin up, dry your eyes

All those letters you wrote
Unanswered in fear (no pain, no gain)
No pain, no gain,
But who takes the blame when the reaping is near?
Your friends they don't know
They've stunted their growth, babe
I know it may seem extra hard
But I promise you will land on top
You're sick of the pain, keep praying for change
'Cause somewhere out there, some people do care

Princess, dry your eyes
I don't wanna see you cry
You no longer have to hide
It's better on the other side (on the other side)
On the other side
Baby keep your head up

Head up, chin up, dry your eyes

Princess, dry your eyes
Better on the other side
On the other side
On the other side
On the other side (baby keep your--)
On the other side (baby keep your--)

I know it's hard but you're gonna be OK
