Once I Was Mighty

                                  When I strip for my window

The audience is always easy 

And when I kiss my pillow

At least I know what he sees in me

I could be seductive 

But I'm just not seductive

I'm not the mystery 

That you made of me

So I've boarded up the windows of my palace

So I've grown accustomed to rose coloured glasses

I called all the local papers

Saying look what he did to me

Look what he said to me

Don't take this guy seriously 

Still I find myself on my knees

Repenting relentlessly

For what he didn't find in me 

For what I didn't turn out to be

He says I boarded up the windows of my palace

That I've grown accustomed to rose coloured glasses

So I live the life in pink 

So I'm different than you think 

So I'm not so outrageous

I'm not so outrageous

There was a time I was mighty 

When I stood as tall as I can 

Yeah, once I was mighty 

Now you've made even smaller than I am

'Cause I've boarded up the windows of my palace

I've grown accustomed to rose coloured glasses

So I live the life in pink 

So I'm different than you think 

I'm not so outrageous

So I couldn't do what you did

I'm a little more timid 

I'm not so courageous

I'm not so courageous

Once I was mighty

Once I was mighty
