Not Your Princess


This princess isn't waiting for a knight,

she's waiting for her sword.

So when she gets locked up in that tower,

She'll be ready to bust down the door.

This princess doesn't need a rescuer

or magic to save her day.

Don't try to kiss this princess awake,

She'll just show you the door and lead you away.

This princess will write her own happy ending.

One without a pretty drees and pretty shoes.

With a sword strapped on her back

She's making her own fairytale with no way to lose.
