Digital Daggers - Paper Bag Princess Lyrics






Don't know til you're in it
How deep it goes
To the very last minute
Time starts to slow down
Slow down
I was on top of the world once
I was on top of the world once too

Stumbling stumbling
Tumbling tumbling

I lost my kingdom to settle for less
Now I'm spinning around in a paper bag dress
Wondering if this is as good as it gets?
I traded my crown for a beat in my chest

So I could see another day
Oh I knew the price that I would have to pay
To be free
I only needed
To let go

So I started sinking
Further below
Under the surface
That covered the soul

I never dreamed it'd be easy
But I never dreamed it would break me so

I'm stumbling stumbling
Crumbling crumbling

Oh
Stripped to the core is there anything left?
Take all my sorrows and all my regrets
Every last thing that I had to confess
I traded my crown for a beat in my chest

So I could see another day
Oh I knew the price that I would have to pay
To be free
I only needed
To let go

To let go

To let go

So I could see another day
Oh I knew the price that I would have to pay
To be free
I only needed
To let go

So I could see another day
Oh I knew the price that I would have to pay
To be free
I only needed
To let go

  22. T.... B....

    You never ever disappoint us. Every song of yours is spectacular and relatable and touches our souls 💕

  23. S.... L....

    Surviving an abusive relationship, this goes right there. We are stronger than we remember.

  24. J.... C....

    It’s so late but Idgaf is never to late to listen to dd

  25. d.... X....

    I love this song so much but I was a bit confused about it's meaning. Could someone explain it to me?

    d.... X....

    I think it's about life changing... you know... she was a princess, and she trade it all "to be free". It's like she is singing about people trying to reach their happiness. The plants btw, are meant to be (gray) - the old life, and the colored ones - a new life, it's like she was born again.

    d.... X....

    Luiz Santos ah I see, thank you!

  26. Y.... C....

    “To be free, I only needed to let go..”

  46. P.... :....

    Once upon a time, there was a kingdom. The king and queen ruled the land, and had only one child -- a daughter. They were very busy and could not take care of her themselves. Living in the castle was a clever man, formerly a criminal, but one who had changed his ways, and was now sought for his quick and talented mind. Everyone but him was too busy to raise the princess. So the little girl grew up under the care of the clever man, and reached the age at which she would be expected to marry. 
    But the king and queen died unexpectedly...and the princess, the only heir to the throne, had to take their place. Then the clever man disappeared, leaving the girl with no one to guide her. So she did the best she could, drawing from how she had seen her parents run the kingdom. She bought fancy things and gave to the poor. She entertained guests and held festivals. She made a name for herself, and soon everyone far and wide knew her name. 
    But time passed, and she had spent every penny her parents had stored. 
    She began selling minor things around the castle. But it wasn't enough. She then sold furniture. But it wasn't enough. At last she sold the clothing off her back and finally, the castle itself. But in the end, she spent every penny and was left with nothing but her crown. 
    She sold this to a young girl so that she could buy spirits, and conversed with a farmer. 
    "I was on top of the world once...took some doing to get there. Oh, I knew the price I would have to pay. But I wanted freedom. I couldn't have that if my parents kept me in the castle, and with the clever man."‎

    Well, I hope you liked this lil story. I'm practicing writing random stuff that leaves things up to your imagination, wanna let me know how I did? X)

  47. G.... ....
