⸻
[Intro – spoken / soft piano]
(Whispered)
Why… why does it feel like I’m trapped?
They see the crown, not me…
⸻
[Verse 1 – singing]
Silk and gold, a gilded cage,
Smiles and bows, my endless stage.
Every word, every command,
Feels like chains around my hands.
[Spoken]
I didn’t ask for this. No one asks.
They just expect… everything.
They don’t see the girl inside,
The one who wants to run, to hide.
I’m royal-born but tired and small,
Living a life I didn’t call.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – singing]
Step by step, through endless halls,
Echoes of their rules and calls.
Every day, every scheme,
Crushes the girl inside my dreams.
[Spoken / whispered]
I just… want to breathe. Is that too much?
⸻
[Chorus – singing / full]
Caged crown, heavy on my head,
I’m alive, but I feel dead.
I’m a princess, but I want to be free,
Escape these walls, let me breathe.
Caged crown, I can’t take the lies,
I long to run, I long to fly.
Hear my heart, hear my scream,
I’m more than this… more than it seems.
⸻
[Verse 2 – singing]
Dinner talks, forced smiles,
Polished floors, endless miles.
Family eyes that never see,
The real me hiding silently.
[Spoken]
Do they even know who I am?
Or am I just… a show for them?
I dream of night, I dream of air,
A life outside this gilded lair.
No more rules, no more games,
I’ll burn the cage and break the chains.
⸻
[Bridge – singing / emotional]
Ohh… stars above, show me the way,
Lead me to a brighter day.
Every tear, every fight,
I’m done hiding in the night.
[Spoken / urgent]
I can’t stay here… I won’t.
I need to be more than this crown!
⸻
[Chorus – final, full]
Caged crown, heavy on my head,
I’m alive, but I feel dead.
I’m a princess, but I want to be free,
Escape these walls, let me breathe.
Caged crown, I can’t take the lies,
I long to run, I long to fly.
Hear my heart, hear my scream,
I’m more than this… more than it seems.
⸻
[Outro – spoken + soft singing fade]
(Whispered)
These walls… can’t hold me long…
I’ll find the sky… I’ll find my song…
(Singing softly)
Caged crown… slipping away…
A princess… free one day…
