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're holding in your hands the two halves of my heart
Oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Once upon a time we burned 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
Now why d'you have to go
Have to go and throw water on my flame?
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/princess-of-china-lyrics-coldplay.html ]
I could have been a princess, you'd be a king
Could have had a castle and worn a ring
But no o-o-o-oh you let me go o-o-o-oh-oh
I could have been a princess, you'd be a king
Could have had a castle and worn a ring
But no-o-o-o-oh you let me go-o-o-o-oh
You stole my star
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la,
You stole my star
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
'Cos you really hurt me, no you really hurt me
'Cos you really hurt me, no you really hurt me
'Cos you really hurt me, oh-oh you really hurt me,
Oh-ooh-ooh
'Cos you really hurt me, oh-oh you really hurt me

They throw water on flames in China, so in some ways it is about China.
