Im Not Cinderella

Love stories always tell you lies
Things that never compare to real life
They tell you untrue things and it leaves you with a surprise
Then words cut like a knife


They tell you all dreams come true 
That if you believe you can succeed  
That it is all up to you
forget the lies they force feed


The truth is you don't need a prince to save the day
Sometimes dreams aren't going to happen
You can make your own way
You can be your life's own captain


So forget all the tall tales 
And embrace lives fails
