Never Made for Glass

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You keep a silver key beneath your sleeve A folded map of places you could leave The castle clock is late by seventeen But you are done waiting to be seen [Pre-Chorus] Let the old gates learn your name Let the dust fall from the frame [Chorus] Princess, you were never made for glass You were born to choose the road and make it last With your hands upon the reins, with your heart unafraid You can write a different ending than the one they gave Princess, lift your eyes and take the day No crown can tell you who you are or where to stay [Verse 2] A blue coat hanging by the kitchen door A pair of worn-out boots across the floor You trade the ballroom for the market square And find your kingdom in the open air [Pre-Chorus] Let the locked rooms lose their hold Let your quiet courage turn to gold [Chorus] Princess, you were never made for glass You were born to choose the road and make it last With your hands upon the reins, with your heart unafraid You can write a different ending than the one they gave Princess, lift your eyes and take the day No crown can tell you who you are or where to stay [Bridge] If the rain comes down, keep walking If they doubt you, let them talk Every door that once was guarded Opens when you turn the lock [Final Chorus] Princess, you were never made for glass You were born to choose the road and make it last With your hands upon the reins, with your heart unafraid You have written your own ending, and it will not fade Princess, lift your eyes and take the day Your true name is yours to carry all the way [Outro] The castle fades behind you The morning finds you brave
