Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Boots in the hallway
Creak in the stair
Mother in the mirror
Fixing up her hair
Says
"Tonight’s the night
My darling
We take what should be ours"
Black dress
Cold laugh
Candles in a jar
[Pre-Chorus]
She draws a map in ashes
Right across my palm
"Touch the wand
" she whispers
"You can be gone"
[Chorus]
Do I break the spell or break my heart?
Steal the wand and tear this world apart?
If I set you free
Does it set me too?
Or do I turn good
Run into you?
Prince waiting out in the dark courtyard
Saying
"You don’t have to play that part"
Do I break the spell or break my heart?
Break the spell or break my heart?
[Verse 2]
Prince at the window
Roses on the sill
Says
"I know your secrets
Love you anyway
I will"
Mother in the throne room
Eyes like sharpened glass
Promises of freedom
If I help her steal the glass
[Pre-Chorus]
She takes my hand
It trembles
Her voice a poisoned charm
"Grab the wand
My angel
Walk into your new life"
[Chorus]
Do I break the spell or break my heart?
Steal the wand and tear this world apart?
If I set you free
Does it set me too?
Or do I turn good
Run into you?
Prince waiting out in the dark courtyard
Saying
"You don’t have to play that part"
Do I break the spell or break my heart?
Break the spell or break my heart?
[Bridge]
What if I’m not my mother’s choice?
What if I trust my own small voice? (oh)
One step forward
One deep breath
I can choose love
Over her regret
[Chorus]
So I break the spell
Not break my heart
Drop the wand and run into your arms
If I set you free
It can save me too
I choose the light
I choose you
Prince spinning me in the dark courtyard
Saying
"You were never made for scars"
I can break the spell and keep my heart
Break the spell and keep my heart
