broken record scratching
melody cut abruptly
looking around uncertainly
the silence feels so ugly
am i crazy or
did i just feel something touch me
am i confused
or did you swear that you love me

the clock ticks on
but midnight never comes
i'm cinderella to no prince charming

spinning across the marble
alone in the ballroom
with no guarantee you won't harm me

it's late don't you think
i'm worn to the bone
any excuse to escape
a way to go home
i'm grateful but i'm not deceived
by the glamor or the throne
there are evils waiting for me
the second we get alone

you can't keep me here forever
i'm not a toy for your amusement or pleasure
i'll only hate you more with time

trust me when i these things
you can't just decide it all for me
i'm young but i can handle mine
