Cinderella Lyrics

She's been playing Cinderella

For a man who didn't give a damn at all

It was only ever about what he did

Working 5 to 5 to pay all of the bills

But it's not like she had a choice

She never even had a voice

Living in a world that's only meant to break you down

Yeah, your words shoot out like fire

Just like silver hollow bullets blazing from a gun

The pain they cause casts shadows, that haunt me while I'm walking through these empty halls

I thought I found my happy ending, looks like I was wrong after all

Sticks and stones don't break my bones

Yeah, you don't have to hit me

You just talk until I'm empty

One day I'll love myself so much, that i stand up for myself and say,

Enough is enough

They always say it takes a village, then when you need them, they're nowhere to be found

If I could do it all, I would, I swear

Just to make sure they couldn't say I didn't try

When you're locked up inside of your own walls

They never hear the silent tears you cry

And even though your heart is breaking

You get up every day and fake it

Cinderella still has to make the ball

Yeah, their words shoot out like fire

Just like silver hollow bullets blazing from a gun

The pain they cause casts shadows, that haunt me while I'm walking through these empty halls

I thought I finally found my happy ending, looks like i was wrong after all

Sticks and stones don't break my bones

Yeah, they don't have to hit me

They just talk until I'm empty

One day I'll love myself so much, that I stand up for myself and say

Enough is enough

Don't let them make you feel so little

They can't hold a candle to the strength God gave you

Slide on those old glass slippers

Wipe your tears and stand up tall

Dance around like no one's watching

It's not over, the clocks still ticking

Cinderella may have been the forgotten one

But just like her, inside your heart, you have the spirit of a queen

Yeah, the words may burn like fire

Just like silver hollow bullets blazing from a gun

The pain they cause casts shadows, that haunt me while I'm walking through these empty halls

I thought i finally found my happy ending, looks like i was wrong after all

Sticks and stones don't break my bones

Yeah, they don't have to hit me

They just talk until I'm empty

One day I'll love myself so much, that I stand up for myself and say

Enough is enough
