Like this:

Every night, left all alone
Words have broken, her heart of stone
During the day, she stands so tall
Yet every night she takes a fall
And all the pain, she tries to hide
Comes roaring out from deep inside
No one sees and no one hears
No one cares that she sheds these tears

She’s a beautiful princess captured by pain
Watched many knights stabbed and slain
They all come to take her hand
But no one understands
She wants nothing but a friend
To love her to the end

Her parents gone so long ago
So much hurt that no one knows
And so she makes a choice
Using actions instead of her voice
To raise a plea for help
Yet no one hears, no one sees
Everyone looks past her
Thinking she’s a complete disaster

But she’s a beautiful princess captured by pain
Watched many knights stabbed and slain
They all come to take her hand
But no one understands
She wants nothing but a friend
To love her to the end

Her time is running out
Her mind is full of doubt
She’s searching everywhere
But emptiness is all that’s there
The promises are always made
But every time she’s been betrayed
She’s sick of love and sick of lies
Why can’t anyone just realize

That she’s a beautiful princess captured by pain
Watched many knights stabbed and slain
They all come to take her hand
But no one understands
She wants nothing but a friend
To love her to the end

But now that ends in sight
He’d better come tonight
Cuz she won’t last another day
Her emotions have decayed

She still remains all alone
With a broken heart of stone
No longer standing tall
No longer trying to hide her fall
The overwhelming pain
The actions that seem insane
And the princess decides tonight
To give up on the fight

She was a beautiful princess captured by pain
She saw many knights stabbed and slain
They all came to take her hand
But none would understand
That all she ever wanted was a friend
To lover her. . .
