Lyrics

William, my dear little prize It stops me to look in your eyes My gorgeous heir to the throne Do I dare call you my own? To me you're much more than an heir You're simply my heart lying there And can't we forever be This happy new family Happiness, happiness You find a way to face the day When you find happiness Darling, I'm holding our son So let me say Jolly well done Never thought I was the type to cry Or sing a sweet lullaby Happiness (happiness), happiness (happiness) After all we've both been through Have we found happiness? Sir, it's Mrs. Parker-Bowles on the line Charles? How've you been? All is well, I suppose. And you? William brings me an impossible sense of joy but it's lovely to hear your voice I will always love you You still haunt my dreams And we will be there for each other Always be there for each other Is that...? It was simply a phone conversation, that is all You misunderstood You said you were still in love with her! I said nothing of the kind! Now if you don't mind, I'd rather not have this conversation again and again Stop, breathe I feel so unprotected Hopes fade This is not what I expected A princess unperfected If no one's listening A husband barely there Can't grab a gasp of air Don't forget this was your dream So simply breathe simply breathe She hardly eats, her mood changes by the minute She's even been threatening to harm herself! It's postpartum depression, I'm afraid it's grown quite severe And when she has her next child? It will likely grow worse Simply, simply, simply breathe Harry, my ginger-haired son You'll always be second to none Perhaps, at last, finally Your dad will be so proud of me Another boy, then. Seems you have ignored my request for a girl So our own son isn't good enough for you? Christ, Diana. Don't overreact to a joke She's still in our marriage She will always be in our marriage Is it your intention to drive me back to her? Because that is exactly what you are doing! Wounds heal But scars can last forever Hearts bend Break, and burst, and sever A dangerous endeavor Avoid the flashing glare Undone yet undeterred Defy this life absurd I think it's time to change your dream So simply breathe I could use a prince To save me from my prince How does one survive When it hurts to be alive? Wounds heal But scars can't last forever And you can't breathe You can't breathe Simply breathe
