Cinderella I can see you
Knelt over the floor
I see you glance at the heavy lock
Longing to open that door

Cinderella I can see you
As you scrub till your hands bleed
I know that you deserve more than this
I understand your need

Cinderella I can see you
I feel your secret tears
I know what lies beneath your smile
Your hopes, your dreams, your fears

Cinderella I can hear you
When you think that no one's there
I hear you scream a gaping wound
Sobbing because no one cares

Cinderella I can see you
When you gaze out at the rain
And work as hard as you know how
You try to erase the pain

Cinderella I can see you
When your wishes don't come true
I see you slowly dying
As you long for something new

Cinderella I can see you
You want to slip into the night
But you don't know how to rebel
They've instilled too much fright

Cinderella I understand you!
But you've got to let it go
Look into yourself and find
The things you need to know

Cinderella I can see you
And it's time for you to leave
This ain't no fairy grandma
But you have to just believe

Cinderella I can see you
And I know you can be brave
You have to be who you are inside
And you can't stay a slave

Cinderella I can see you
You have to run away
Race into the dead of night
I know you'll find the day

Cinderella I can see you
And I've really missed your smile
I finally see the real you
I haven't seen her in a while

Cinderella I can see you
I can see it in your eyes
I know that you will find the truth
Because I see no more lies.
