Raised in gold by a king and queen
With a love just built on fancy things
Rules made from his rainbow lies
But she was color blind

She taught me that we dare not cry
With a painted face no tears to dry
Stand up straight and fix your crown
But the diamonds fall when he cuts her down

Riches don't always buy fairytales
Just nightmares and illusions
You can't bribe away
No love to believe in and no escape
We played pretend stuck in a lonely masquerade

Til I fell in love with a honest man
Only pennies in his pocket
But his heart in his hand
A selfless soul who gives his word
Not lookin' for much, just love in return

He taught me I could save myself
Didn't need a prince
Just needed help
To find the Truth in every broken piece
Oh, He loves he loves the damaged parts of me

Yeah I fell in love with a honest man
Only pennies in his pocket
But his heart in his hands
A selfless soul who gives his word
Not lookin' for much, just love in return

Once upon another life
I wish the queen could wear my eyes
And understand one simple truth
Real love can give back what he stole from you

So fall in love with an honest man
Only pennies in his pocket
But his heart in his hands
A selfless soul who gives his word
Not lookin' for much, just love

I fell in love with an honest man
Only pennies in his pocket
But his heart in his hands
A selfless soul who gives his word
Not lookin' for much, just love in return

In return
In return
Not looking for much just love
