Once I Thought I Had My Prince

((Once I thought I had my prince.
He rode in from the North and swept me off my feet.
But then I felt the painful approach of anguish
For what is love when it doesn’t last?))

Once I thought I had my prince
I thought he’d stay forever mine.
But time is gone; haven’t seen him since
And even love has to fade with time.

He was tall and bright with a smile like a king
But that smile isn’t meant for me anymore.
For my prince I would do all and give anything.
I’ve never loved anyone as I did him before.

And then when my prince was stolen away
I wanted to hide and die alone
I thought that he was here to stay
But I no longer had a prince to call my own.

I thought I’d never truly had him
That I was really just a fool
That our love had been some silly whim
Or that he was using me as a tool.

But then I knew in my heart of hearts
That he once had loved me back.
That none of his shows were just done for the arts
But that his heart really beat to just one track.

My prince was all I thought I needed; I was wrong.
My prince wasn’t all I needed but all that I had,
So when he disappeared I mourned for far too long
Until I realized that there was no more point to feeling sad.

So even though I haven’t seen him since
He shut the box and closed the lid
Once I thought I had my prince
Because once, I really did.

Once, I thought I hadn’t had my prince
But once again, I was wrong.
Once I had my prince
But once is past, and now he’s gone.
