Princess of Nothing
VFSix Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cold fingers on my neck
My winning card is in your paper bag
All the days I've lost, won't come back
I've no regret
I doesn't ask the right questions
My face is no longer my face
You sing the same old song
Could I beg you - "No more!"

I am a Princess of Nothing
Queen for a day

I was born in the wrong place
And my name is not Grace
Bad things too often happen to me
I only see what I want to see
I want to see your back
Keep away your fingers from my neck
Everytime I hear your song, I know
I don't belong here, I don't belong

I am a Princess of Nothing
Queen for a day

On one lovely day
I know, I will die
There is no successor




Who can bequeath
My kingdom
