[Verse 1]
When will the princess figure it out
She ain't worth saving
Heavy the head that bears the crown
Of my mistaken, apathy for sympathy
I was never good enough to be anything but remedy
To all of your constant pressing needs
And I never learned, so

[Chorus]
I painted a picture of the things I wanted most
To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes
But there's a monster standing where you should be
So I'll paint you wings
And I'll set you free
Yeah

[Verse 2]
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 remedy
To all of your constant pressing needs
And I never learned, so

[Chorus]
I painted a picture of the things I wanted most
To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes
But there's a monster standing where you should be
So I'll paint you wings
And I'll set you free
[Bridge]
When will the princess figure it out
She ain't worth saving
When will the world get over all her misbehaving?
Will we ever learn?

[Chorus]
I painted a picture of the things I wanted most
To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes
But there's a monster standing where you should be
So I'll paint you wings
And I'll set you free
(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's a monster standing where you should be
So I'll paint you wings
And I'll set you free

[Outro]
She can fly away
