Glass Slippers

Just before midnight
As the minutes tick away
You wonder, should you stay
Or should you go?
Is this the one night
When you break out of the grey
Throw those faded rags away
And steal the show?

But the things that keep you going
They’re not real and they’re not right
And all the stories you remember
Were just there to help you sleep at night

’Cause you make your own glass slippers
Your own glass slippers
You make your own glass slippers
Here

Looking for a princess
Who will wake with just one kiss
Give you all the love you miss
And change your world
Spurred on by the promise
Of such eternal bliss
You charge through days like this
With flag unfurled

But the things that keep you going
They’re not real and they’re not right
And all the stories you remember
Were just there to help you sleep at night

’Cause you make your own glass slippers
Your own glass slippers
You make your own glass slippers
Here

You dream of your Ferrari
But you don’t understand
When your eyes turn all starry
It’s just a fairy tale you’ve planned
All by yourself

But you make your own glass slippers
Your own glass slippers
You make your own glass slippers
Here.
