It’s Sunday night, and she’s missed it all
Missed her carriage, missed her ball
It’s Sunday night, and the world’s gone by
With cocktails and cab rides, with hellos and goodbyes
“How was your weekend,” they’ll ask her tomorrow
“Perfect,” she’ll say, and swallow her sorrow
The doorbell never rang, and the scenery hasn’t changed
Fairy Godmother never came, Cinderella is just the same
Cinderella’s not supposed to say that things
Don’t always go the storybook way
If I were you, I wouldn’t wait for princes or coachmen to open the gates
The books they read us, and movies we see
All try to sell us this fable fantasy
Once upon a time is not a state of mind
Happy ever after is not the final chapter…
