Cinderella

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 fairytale 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
