[Verse 1] He thought that he was a knight from Round Table Riding upon a white steed She thought she was a damsel fair maiden And romance was all that she'd need So he wined her and he dined her with truckloads of flowers Sweeping her off of her feet She dutifully sat with her phone there for hours Gratefully trying to please Like a slave in a salt mine with sweat on his brow He gathered up all she deserved Like a queen in a castle she dusted his mantle Carefully trying to serve She said I can't take it, I can no longer fake it I don't get the romance I need He shook from his fear and cried without tears All I want is to be free [Chorus] From prisons and castles and bracelets and shackles That sometimes look just the same Foremen, slave drivers, and macho survivors Can drive a man slowly insane And so goes the harbor, so goes the haven Along with the romance and awe She sold her soul but it couldn't save him From chasing windmills down the hall [Verse 2] He said that I am a worker by trade I don't ride upon a white steed She said I am a woman enslaved And romance will not fill my needs So brutally honest they vulnerably talked Embracing the fear and the schemes So romance and rescue did not bring them love It grew out of sharing a dream [Final Chorus] 'Cause prisons and castles and bracelets and shackles Can sometimes look just the same And foremen, slave drivers, and macho survivors Can drive a man slowly insane And so goes the harbor, so goes the haven Along with the romance and awe She took back her soul 'cause it couldn't save him And they found true love after all [Outro] She took back her soul 'cause it couldn't save him So they found true love after all
