Now hear this story of a pauper
No he ain't like any other
How he found a girl to love him
But he ran away for cover

Got the heart of a prince
Focus of a king
Missed the princess of his life
With the beauty of a queen

Oh a sad, sad tale
He lets himself go back
To the end of the book
At the end of the trail
He says

Go on and leave like you used to do
Cause' I'm young and dumb and I'm used to
Living with no princess
A fact you took for granted
One day I know I'll be satisfied
Grow up find the love of my life
But for now I'm just a victim of
Fantasy and Fiction

He ain't a dwarf or made of wood
But he reads more than he should
Skipping pages for no reason
Cause' he fears he might be in them

He looks through a lense
Can't see what she sends
But it's time we see this for what it is
Old stories new names

But the same consequences
I think it's time we see the sun
In different places
Maybe next time it will end right
But for now go

Go on and leave like you used to do
Cause' I'm young and dumb and I'm used to
Living with no princess
A fact you took for granted
One day I know I'll be satisfied
Grow up find the love of my life
But for now I'm just a victim of
Fantasy and Fiction

Don't call me prince
Cause' babe I know you ain't Snow White
You may have bit the apple
But I'm the one who paid the price
I know you meant well
Doing what other people said
But no way a pauper boy 
Is gonna' be a prince instead

So, go on and leave like you used to do
Cause' I'm young and dumb and I'm used to
Living with no princess
I really thought I told you that, so
One day I know I'll be satisfied
Grow up find the love of my life
I'm just a victim of
Fantasy and Fiction

Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
