Paint You Wings

Lyrics for Paint You Wings

When will the princess figure it out she ain't worth saving Heavy the head that bears the crown Of my mistaken empathy, sympathy I was never good enough to be anything but a remedy To all of your constant pressing needs And I never learned, so I painted a picture of the things I wanted most To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes But there was a monster standing where you should be So I'll paint you wings, and I'll set you free I was a pawn in all of your plans, you kept me busy Locked behind your chamber doors when you felt frisky Until you got sick of me I was never good enough to be anything but a remedy To all of your constant pressing needs And I never learned, so I painted a picture of the things I wanted most To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes But there was a monster standing where you should be So I'll paint you wings, and I'll set you free When will the princess figure it out, she ain't worth saving And when will the world get over all her misbehaving Will we ever learn? I painted a picture of the things I wanted most To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes But there was a monster standing where you should be So I'll paint you wings, and I'll set you free (So she can fly away) I painted a picture of the things I wanted most To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes But there was a monster standing where you should be So I'll paint you wings, and I'll set you free (So you can fly away)
