I never opted to be a princess
I never believed in fairytales
I know that life can be a mess
I know that life can bring fails

I do need a fairy godmother
To fix up some things for me
But I’m wise enough to know
Nothing around is in my control

I don’t need saving here
So turn around your horse
I don’t need a castle to live
So forget about that course

You be the beast, I be the beauty
But that is as far as we take it
No glass slipper will find your suitor
Fate is a mystery to believe in

So don’t go slaying any dragon
I am not here lying asleep
I am not waiting for your magic
No dwarfs are here to keep

No magic to make it better
No, I am not Miss Cinderella
