Cinderella

(verse 1)

Glass slippers don't fit like they used to

Prince charming feels like make-believe

All these fairy tales they told me

Left me broken, hard to breathe

Maybe happy endings aren't for girls like me

(Chorus)

After the ball, after the dance

After you've had your fairy tale romance

I'm just a girl with dirty hands

Trying to understand

Why love feels like quicksand

After the ball

(Verse 2)

Raised on stories of better days

When mother sang me lullabies

Now I'm counting all the ways

I've learned to swallow my goodbyes

Maybe there's no prince at all

Maybe there's no grand escape

Maybe I'm too small

To change my fate

(Chorus)

After the ball, after the dance

After you've had your fairy tale romance

I'm just a girl with dirty hands

Trying to understand

Why love feels like quicksand

After the ball

(Bridge)

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Shows a girl who's lost her way

In this house that's not a home at all

I'm disappearing day by day

(Chorus)

After the ball, after the dance

After you've had your fairy tale romance

I'm just a girl with dirty hands

Trying to understand

Why love feels like quicksand

After the ball

(Outro)

I'm made of cinder and bone

Ashes to ashes, I'm still alone

Waiting for someone to take me home
