[Verse 1]

The chances that I took

Blacked out and overbooked

The sun would cruelly rise to tired reddened eyes

So what's this crown really mean?

What kind of friend could I be?

Responsibility's all that's left of me

You made the time

Wondering if you would find

The friendship in that rosy light

Within the stained glass, those ponies of the past


[Refrain]

Lying at the heart of these castle walls

Solitary hoofsteps that echo down the hall

It's time to play pretеnd

The ink has wet the pеn

Once upon a time, the story that we lived

And when you read these lines, I hope you can forgive

But it seems I'm tardy again


[Verse 2]

Schedule painted red

As time keeps on its tread

A box of Sugarcube bakes

From Pumpkin and Pound Cake

Are we out of time?

Another excuse of mine

The hum of wedding bells, welcome to my hell

Playing that act

Promising what we can't have

Saying that we'll all go back

While the sun floats by, the light cast on our lies


[Refrain]

Lying at the heart of these castle walls

Solitary hoofsteps that echo down the hall

It's time to play pretend

The ink has wet the pen

Once upon a time, the story that we lived

And when you read these lines, I hope you can forgive

But it seems I'm tardy again


[Outro]
