Ashes Cinderella

[Verse 1] I stood in the dark with my hands in my sleeves Hoping you'd see me for more than I bleed But you look right through me like I’m easy to lose Like I’d wear your neglect just to stay in your shoes [Pre-Chorus] I’m shaking, I’m breaking, I’m tired of pretending That love is a ladder and I’m still ascending When you talk down to me, I feel my heart split I wanted forever, but not like this [Chorus] I am not your Cinderella I won’t wait in the ashes for you to decide I don’t put myself this low to be with you If you think this way about me, then we’re already through I am not your Cinderella I’m not a dream you get to wreck and rewrite I won’t shrink myself just to fit your story If this is love, then it’s killing me slowly [Verse 2] You made me feel small like I should be ashamed For wanting your warmth without swallowing the pain But I gave you my all and you gave me a doubt Now I’m screaming in silence just to get out [Bridge] So keep your crown, keep your cold little throne I’d rather be lonely than be made into stone I was soft, I was bleeding, I was hoping you’d care But I won’t disappear just to meet you there [Final Chorus] I am not your Cinderella I won’t wait in the ashes for you to decide I don’t put myself this low to be with you If you think this way about me, then we’re already through I am not your Cinderella I’m done being hurt by the way that you lie If you can’t love me gentle, then let me go free I deserve more than the part you made me believe
