Belle

(Verse 1)

She wears this dress of silk and gold

But her heart is made of stone

These stories that she’s been told

Don't feel like they're her own

Every smile is calculated

Every word must be just right

Her true self is suffocated

By the role she plays each night

(Chorus)(Long notes)

Beauty and the burden

Of a life that's not her own

Of sitting on a throne

She's more than what they see

More than royalty

Beauty and the burden

Of never being free

(verse 2)

They call her beautiful and kind

But they don't see the weight she carries

A princess with a restless mind

In a world where freedom tarries

She walks these marble halls alone

Crown heavy on her head

Dreams of a life she's never known

Beyond the words she's read

(Chorus)(Long notes)

Beauty and the burden

Of a life that's not her own

Of sitting on a throne

She's more than what they see

More than royalty

Beauty and the burden

Of never being free

(Bridge)

But she’s still dreaming

Of the girl she’s meant to be

And she’s still believing

That someday she’ll be free

(Chorus)(Long notes)

Beauty and the burden

Of a life that's not her own

Of sitting on a throne

She's more than what they see

More than royalty

Beauty and the burden

Of never being free
