Happiness / Simply Breathe
William, my dear little prize
It stops me to look in your eyes
My gorgeous heir to the throne
Do I dare call you my own?
To me you're much more than an heir
You're simply my heart lying there
And can't we forever be
This happy new family
Happiness, happiness
You find a way to face the day
When you find happiness
Darling, I'm holding our son
So let me say
Jolly well done
Never thought I was the type to cry
Or sing a sweet lullaby
Happiness (happiness), happiness (happiness)
After all we've both been through
Have we found happiness?
Sir, it's Mrs. Parker-Bowles on the line
Charles?
How've you been?
All is well, I suppose. And you?
William brings me an impossible sense of joy
but it's lovely to hear your voice
I will always love you
You still haunt my dreams
And we will be there for each other
Always be there for each other
Is that...?
It was simply a phone conversation, that is all
You misunderstood
You said you were still in love with her!
I said nothing of the kind!
Now if you don't mind, I'd rather not have this conversation again and again
Stop, breathe
I feel so unprotected
Hopes fade
This is not what I expected
A princess unperfected
If no one's listening
A husband barely there
Can't grab a gasp of air
Don't forget this was your dream
So simply breathe
simply breathe
She hardly eats, her mood changes by the minute
She's even been threatening to harm herself!
It's postpartum depression, I'm afraid it's grown quite severe
And when she has her next child?
It will likely grow worse
Simply, simply, simply breathe
Harry, my ginger-haired son
You'll always be second to none
Perhaps, at last, finally
Your dad will be so proud of me
Another boy, then. Seems you have ignored my request for a girl
So our own son isn't good enough for you?
Christ, Diana. Don't overreact to a joke
She's still in our marriage
She will always be in our marriage
Is it your intention to drive me back to her?
Because that is exactly what you are doing!
Wounds heal
But scars can last forever
Hearts bend
Break, and burst, and sever
A dangerous endeavor
Avoid the flashing glare
Undone yet undeterred
Defy this life absurd
I think it's time to change your dream
So simply breathe
I could use a prince
To save me from my prince
How does one survive
When it hurts to be alive?
Wounds heal
But scars can't last forever
And you can't breathe
You can't breathe
Simply breathe
It stops me to look in your eyes
My gorgeous heir to the throne
Do I dare call you my own?
To me you're much more than an heir
You're simply my heart lying there
And can't we forever be
This happy new family
Happiness, happiness
You find a way to face the day
When you find happiness
