[Bb] He's a very smart prince. _ _ _
_ _ He's a prince who _ prepares, _ _ _ _ _ knowing this time I'd run from him.
[Bb] _ _ _ _
He spread pitch [Gm] on the stairs, _ and I'm caught on all wares. _
Well it means that _ [Bb] he cares.
_ _ _ _ _ _ This is more than just malice. _ _ _ _
_ Better stop and take [Eb] stock while you're [Bb] standing here stuck on the steps of the palace. _
_ _ Alright, what do you want?
_ Have to make a decision. _
_ Why not stay and be caught?
Should I give that a thought?
What would be his response? _ _
[Gb] But then what if he knew who I am when I know that I'm not what he [Bb] thinks that he wants? _
_ _ Or then what if I am _ what a prince would envision? _ _
But then how can you know who you are till you know what you want, which I don't.
So then which [Gb] do you pick?
Where you're safe, out of sight, and yourself, but where [Bb] everything's wrong?
_ _ [B] Or where everything's right, but you know that you'll never [Bb] belong?
_ _ _ _ [Bm] And whichever you pick, do it quick, cause you're starting to stick to the steps of [Bb] the palace.
_ _ _ _ [Eb] It's my first big decision.
_ _ The choice isn't easy to make.
[Abm] To arrive at a ball is exciting and all, [Bbm] once you're there, though it's scary.
_ [Ab] And it's fun to deceive when you know you can leave, but [Ebm] you have to [Eb] be wary.
_ _ [Gb] There's a [Fm] lot that's at stake, but I've stalled long [B] enough, cause I'm still [F] standing stuck in the stuff on [Bb] these steps.
Better run along home _ _ and avoid the collision. _ _
Though at home they don't care, I'll be better off there, where there's [F] nothing to choose, [B] so there's nothing to lose.
[Bbm] _ So I'll pry up my _ _ shoes. _ _ _ _ _ _
Wait, no, thinking it through.
_ [Dm] _
Things don't [Gm] have to collide.
I know what my decision is, which is not to decide.
_ _ I'll just leave him a clue. _
_ For example, _ _ _ _ _ a [Bb] shoe.
_ _ And then see what he'll do.
_ Now it's he and not you who'll be stuck with a shoe.
In a stew.
_ _ In the goo. _
_ _ _ And I've learned something too, something I never [Ab] _ knew. _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
On the steps of the path. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
