Keep Your Head Up Princess

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
