Coldplay – Princess Of China lyrics
[Verse 1]
Once upon a time somebody ran,
Somebody ran away saying fast as I can.
I got to go, I got to go!
Once upon a time we fell apart,
You holding in your hands the two halves of my heart.
Oh oh. Oh oh!

Once upon a time we're burning bright,
Now all we ever seem to do is fight.
On and on, and on, and on, and on.
Once upon a time on the same side,
Once upon a time on the same side in the same game.
And why'd you have to go,
Have to go and throw it all in my face?

[Pre-Chorus]
I could've been a princess, you'd be a king,
Could've had a castle and worn a ring,
But no, you let me go.
I could've been a princess, you'd be a king,
Could've had a castle and wore a ring,
But no, you let me go.

[Hook]
You stole my star, lalala la lala, lalala la lala, lala la lala.
You stole my star, lalala la lala.

[Outro]
Cause you really hurt me,
Oh, you really hurt me.
Cause you really hurt me,
Oh, you really hurt me.
Cause you really hurt me,
Oh, you really hurt me, oh.
You really hurt me,
Oh, you really hurt me.
Cause you really hurt me,
Oh, you really hurt me.

    I think it means to be who you really wanna be. Like be a princess or a king and don't let anybody stop you from doing who or what you want to be. If you really listen closely you'll understand because somebody is running awway also I think its about a couple who can't decide who they want to be and they can't make up for their past mistakes and or regrets.
    Hey mom! Ily.

    If you've read the articles recently in which the band states this is a love story between mylo and xyloto, this song makes a lot of sense; it is the pinnacle of the strife in their journey of love, and I could think of no better way to exemplify that than with a male and female duet. The lyrics then take on an enhanced meaning in the bigger context, and you can just sense the power and emotion of the song in the larger concept album. I think it's a beautiful collaboration with great instrumentals, and to me it all structurally makes sense. Chris starts it off (mylo), rihanna answers (xyloto), and to conclude they both lament the tragic turn their relationship has taken. It's emblematic of a chapter in the album as well as a chapter in the band's musical careers and sound.

    This describes the breakup of me and my ex boyfriend. I was dating him and he liked another girl after two weeks and I was tired of being treated like crap so I dumped him and unsurprisingly he didn't care. This hurt me so much. The girl he left me for was my best friend at the time and has also caused all my other breakups I'm reallly peod at her. She doesn't know how much she hurt me. I will always love him but I know he'll never come back.
