“Cinderella Shoes”

[Vs1]
There
isn’t much that’s left here but your fancy watch's tune;
You left
me hanging by a thread, it broke
this afternoon;
The sun's no longer shining, in this love lost hurricane;
All the
pieces that you broke, I've
swept and blown them...far away.
CHORUS
I've worn
a broken dancer's smile,
Trying to
spin around;
And that new watch still tells the time,
When you
lost what I found…
I’m not a
princess I’ve been told,
But there’s
much more to see;
I’ve
kicked off Cinderella shoes,
And now
this strong girl’s free.
[Vs2]
I’m on my
way to somewhere, with my heart the only guide;
I hear
the voices out there say, “don't
ever look behind” –
This new fresh air's inviting, my
new memories a home;
I think I
forgot your first name, but now I've found my own.
CHORUS
I've worn
a broken dancer's smile,
Trying to
spin around;
And that new watch still tells the time,
When you
lost what I found…
I’m not a
princess I’ve been told,
But
there’s much more to see;
I’ve
kicked off Cinderella shoes,
And now
this strong girl’s free.
[BRIDGE]
You left
me here,
To rot
and cry -
But I've
grown new wings, now I'll fly;
No more
tears,
They
vaporized -
These
gale force winds will carry me...
Beyond
this sky -
I've
waved goodbye...
CHORUS
I've worn
a broken dancer's smile,
Trying to
spin around;
And that new watch still tells the time,
When you
lost what I found…
I’m not a
princess I’ve been told,
But
there’s much more to see;
I’ve
kicked off Cinderella shoes,
And now
this strong girl’s free.
