you'd be my queen but you know
this isn't your castle, it's not
how you thought you'd be courted but
you can say no, i don't want undertones
that bring me to lows
i don't think that i will wear his crown
i don't even have my own
thanks, though, just say no to
my face, tell me what i need to know,
to learn to act my royalty, i have
a loyalty to serve my people and
you -- well, you're no longer
apart of that consensus
sharpen your senses
i might wince when i see you
but let me knight my men
to defend my heart
you are not my queen
let me keep my plate clean
keep my eyes away with their glinting sheen
i may be a teen, but a king is a king
