Tekst piosenki
[Intro]
Pretty little princess
[Verse 1]
Locked up in this castle (Ah)
Been training for battle (Ah)
Would you know that I’m lonely?
Never let no one know me
So I can act like you want me to
[Verse 2]
I’m trapped in this body (Ah)
So sorry you called me (Ah)
Actin’ like I ain’t perfect
Supposed to be at your service
So I can act like you want me to
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I’m not okay
But I will never let you see my pain
[Chorus]
Give it up for this dress (Pretty little princess)
’Cause it hides that I’m broken (Pretty little princess)
Completely a mess, covered up with finesse
So you wouldn’t notice
Give it up for my make-up (Pretty little princess), oh
For holding my tears (Pretty little princess)
You wouldn’t believe all the hurt I could handle
For so many years, right here
Oh, being a princess
[Verse 3]
I’m a fire-breathin’ dragon (Ah)
I hold it in when it happens (Ah)
So you don’t see me get heated
Pretty, that’s how I keep it
So I can act like you want me to
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I’m not okay
But I will never let you see my pain
[Chorus]
Give it up for this dress, oh (Pretty little princess)
’Cause it hides that I’m broken (Pretty little princess)
Completely a mess, covered up with finesse
So you wouldn’t notice, no, oh
Give it up for my make-up (Pretty little princess), oh
For holding my tears (Pretty little princess), uh-huh
You wouldn’t believe all the hurt I could handle
For so many years, right here
Oh, being a princess
[Outro]
(Pretty little princess) I’m a pretty little
(Pretty little princess) Oh, I’ll be a
(Pretty little princess) I’m right here
Right here, being a princess
Tłumaczenie piosenki
Analiza piosenki
W utworze pojawia się również motyw tłumionej siły i gniewu; bohaterka porównuje się do „smoka ziejącego ogniem”, który musi dusić w sobie emocje, by zachować status „ładnej”. To smutna refleksja nad ceną, jaką płaci się za życie na pokaz i bycie „do usług” innych. Piosenka obnaża kłamstwo tkwiące w idealnych wizerunkach, pokazując, że za fasadą luksusu często kryje się ogromny, wieloletni ból, którego nikt nie ma prawa zauważyć.
