about

A Waltz for The Queen of Hearts; inspired by Marissa Meyer’s novel “Heartless”.

lyrics

How funny to be queen of the thing that I lack
They say envy’s green while I paint roses red
How loathsome to be queen but I can’t take it back
I rage, it’s routine, off with their heads

Once upon a time, I was alive
When hope filled this hole, I’m hollow inside

Sing me a song from the words left unspoken
Between us when we thought we could not be broken
I'll never break
I'll never take your heart
I sing the song from the notes that you left me
The tune is all wrong and words seem so empty
I’ll never break
I’ll never take your heart
Love was such a mess - So now I am heartless

How clever to be queen - Do you know what I hide?
No secret, just obscene - I’m wicked, it’s legend
How spiteful to be queen - Come along for the ride
They will stare, I’m the scene - My rule is unquestioned

Once upon a time, I was alive
When hope filled this hole, I’m hollow inside

Sing me a song from the words left unspoken
Between us when we thought we could not be broken
I'll never break
I'll never take your heart
I sing the song from the notes that you left me
The tune is all wrong and words seem so empty
I’ll never break
I’ll never take your heart

But who needs a heart to rule
When fear will work as well as love
When fear will work better than love
When fear will never leave me like love
When fear will never leave me like you

I traded it all, to the girls in the well, for a chance at revenge
I got what I bought, and I got it well, but I’ve gone ‘round the bend
They took my heart, but left in its place a seed of doubt
If you paint yourself red, no one can tell that you’re
Bleeding out

How funny

Once upon a time, I was alive
I’ll show you the scar, my ribs open wide

Once upon a time, I was alive
When hope filled this hole, I’m hollow inside

Sing me a song from the words left unspoken
Between us when we thought we could not be broken
I'll never break
I'll never take your heart
I sing the song from the notes that you left me
The tune is all wrong and words seem so empty
I’ll never break
I’ll never take your heart
Love was such a mess - So now I am heartless

Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken anyway?
