[Verse 1] I climbed your tower I crossed your moat Killed every monster You said was at your throat Turns out the dragon Was doing just fine He wasn’t guarding you He was hiding inside You wanted roses You wanted rings You wanted someone To hand you pretty things I gave you something You couldn’t buy A man who’d stand beside you Not one who’d stand in line Funny how everything Was never enough You kept asking for magic Till I called your bluff [Pre-Chorus] Oh, what a beautiful lie All dressed up in white I came looking for Cinderella Found the wicked bitch inside [Chorus] Keep the slipper Keep the crown Keep your pretty little castle While it all comes crashing down Keep your kingdom Keep your throne You wanted Prince Charming You can fucking wait alone I don’t need your fairy tale You won’t get that diamond ring I was never meant to be your prince I was born to be a king [Verse 2] Mirror, mirror Tell her the truth Beauty gets expensive When that’s all you’ve got to lose Smile for the cameras Give ’em your wave Funny how a princess Needs everyone to behave You called me peasant You called me fool Like being born without Daddy’s things Made me less than you But kingdoms aren’t inherited By people like me We build the fucking things [Chorus] Keep the slipper Keep the crown Keep your pretty little castle While it all comes crashing down Keep your kingdom Keep your throne You wanted Prince Charming You can fucking wait alone I don’t need your fairy tale You won’t get that diamond ring I was never meant to be your prince I was born to be a king [Bridge] No fairy godmother No midnight bell No fucking miracle To save you from your self-inflicted hell Clock hits twelve See what remains All that pretty turns back into plain Go blame the mirror Go curse my name You made this mess Now live with it, babe You pretty fucking ugly thing [Breakdown] You wanted a prince I needed a queen There’s a fucking difference Know what I mean? [Final Chorus] KEEP THE SLIPPER KEEP THE CROWN KEEP YOUR PRETTY LITTLE CASTLE LET THE WHOLE DAMN THING BURN DOWN KEEP YOUR KINGDOM KEEP YOUR THRONE IF YOU’RE WAITING FOR PRINCE CHARMING YOU’RE GONNA DIE THERE ALL ALONE I don’t need your fairy tale You won’t get that diamond ring I was never meant to be your prince I WAS BORN TO BE A KING [Outro] Keep the slipper. I don’t want it back.
