[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
