about

This is about loneliness and regret.

lyrics

Let me tell you a story that started long ago
About a woman I loved and that I let go
I lost her in confusion, didn’t know what I had
When I think about her it makes me feel so sad
Once upon a time, a princess was in love with me
Once upon a time, my life was wild and free
Now I am a prisoner, convicted of the crime
Of letting my joy slip away, once upon a time
I’m the forgotten hero locked in a dungeon deep
Sealed within my own heart, with secrets that I keep
No one would ever know, I was once a shining knight
I’ve been so long in darkness; I think I’ve lost my sight
Once upon a time, a princess was in love with me
Once upon a time, my life was wild and free
Now I am a prisoner, convicted of the crime
Of letting my joy slip away, once upon a time
Do you hold the key to free me from this cell?
Or am I lost forever at the bottom of this well?
Light a lamp to find me somewhere within the gloom
Or I’ll disappear completely in the silence of the tomb
Once upon a time, a princess was in love with me
Once upon a time, my life was wild and free
Now I am a prisoner, convicted of the crime
Of letting my joy slip away, once upon a time
