Fill the Shoes He Never Stepped In

Fill the shoes he never stepped in
I want your glass slipper to fit
Without room to slither off
I took his shoes off for him
But I want you to keep yours on
Don’t lose sight of who you are
With your identity resting beneath you
I’ll step on your feet
To keep you here eternally
Oh, please do what he did not
Please stay
