AntiCinderella

[Verse]
No clock to warn me when to leave
No borrowed dreams I must believe
These walls were never meant to fit
A scripted role I never picked
Silk promises, polite advice
They said obedience was nice
But comfort never taught me how
To trust my voice and hear it now

[Pre-Chorus]
I read the ending they prepared
Closed the book and left it there

[Chorus]
I’m not waiting for a carriage call
Not trading freedom for a ballroom wall
No glass illusion, no rescue spell
I’m not your perfect fairytale
I'm AntiCinderella
And I decide
Who will stay on my side

Keep your glass slipper it's not for me
This story ends - completely free

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
They praised me when I stayed polite
When I stayed quiet, small, and right
But silence never felt like grace
It felt like learning my own place
I learned the cost of being "good" 
Of shrinking more than anyone should
So I stepped out without a sign
No blessing asked, no dotted line

[Pre-Chorus]
Approval never made me whole
I trust the weight of my own soul

[Chorus]
I’m not waiting for a carriage call
Not trading freedom for a ballroom wall
No glass illusion, no rescue spell
I’m not your perfect fairytale
I'm AntiCinderella
And I decide
Who will stay on my side

Keep your glass slipper it's not for me
This story ends - completely free

[Bridge]
If love arrives, it walks beside
Not over me, not as a guide
No savior role, no debt to pay
Just two who choose to stay

[Chorus]
I’m not waiting for a carriage call
Not trading freedom for a ballroom wall
No glass illusion, no rescue spell
I’m not your perfect fairytale
I'm AntiCinderella
Hear me now
I don’t escape, I don’t bow

Keep your glass slipper it's not for me
This story ends - completely free
