# (WHY YOU WILL NEVER GET CLOSE TO A) #
            # PRINCESS #

"I'd never give in" you said
"it wouldn't be worth it" you added
you sounded so sensible
but getting back your own weak heart
you weren't able

gave you trust and understanding
it was cold and so enticing
much too tenderly and empathizing
we let us go told you so
my princess

obviously we dissapeared
they all could guess
when we weren't there
we were careless and frolicsome
we gazed at the starlit sky
counted falling stars
and let the hours went by

enjoyed your exiting touch
oh, you were so enchanting
it was warm and so inviting
more tenderly and so empathizing
we let us go told you so
my princess

we got lost somewhere all alone
it was quite a long way back home
we sat exhausted in front your door
and only a little church had seen
what has happened furthermore

please forgive me
I wanted to see you happy
although predictable
it overwhelmed me
you were so cute and tenderly
we let us go told you so
my princess

I never thought
we would get another chance
never thought that it was possible
you enhanced every caress
all the fears for tomorrow
we knew how to repress them

looking back to it
I regret nothing
a train was leaving
and tears were falling
I couldn't stay away from you
and hurt you so
we let us go told you so
my princess

hope was my leader
the distance much too far
I could not reach her
day by day dissolved
and so did she
it was time to face her
but I needed
to stand right before her

prepared for the worst
and full of judiciousness
I took the plunge
and reached out my hands for her
she took me whole, irrepressably
we let us go who told us so ?
my princess

honesty and truth at last
lies weren't accepted
prepared for separated ways
oh, how we despised that
you were even more beautiful
and deplorable
so we let us go we told us so
my princess
