Just Call Me Cinderella

Just call me Cinderella
Noon turns to midnight
Love turns to lust
No one ever told me people were so hard to trust
Longing for the happiness life used to carry
I still can't figure out why you said you didn't care for me
I stayed up all last night thinking about our fight
How did it all get brought up; What made the timing so right
Not once shedding a tear, realizing I've been drained
You have a way with making me feel guilty for causing so much pain
It's getting harder to hold on
Harder to live
Knowing that you look back now, longing to forget
Why forget all the times we shared, when it's what we both wanted.
I should be happy now, but instead all I feel is regret
You say so many girls like you now and you make sure to flaunt it.
You've done enough by making me hurt
Calling out of nowhere every time I follow my heart
As much as I hate it, I won't give in
I've done it five times already, so for now you're only my friend
We walk down the hallways and turn our heads
Feeling embarrassed to make eye contact, I know seeing me is something you dread
Pausing for a moment only to reflect
You say I don't care anymore, didn't shed a tear, and only neglect
I say you need to trust me more, stop doubting me, and you shake your head
You know you're only hurting us both by the way you handle pain
I've spent too many nights drowning in sorrow; Shedding tears like rain
You worry me sick with your threats and broken promises
You long for us to be together again; that life's not full without a "we" or an "us"
Why can't you except it just this once
That time isn't ready for me to handle so much trust
Commitment isn't something I long for now
I'm 14 years old, stop putting me through this hell
If you loved me that much, you wouldn't make me drown in your own self pity
Do me a favor and say you forgive me
Forgive me for doing this to you five times in three years
Forgive me for all the pain I caused and jerking so many tears
Forgive me for all the times we got in fights
Forgive me for lying; we're doing this tonight
Come clean with it all
Hold nothing back
If you have something on your mind then get it out
I'm keeping my heart, just this time; Destiny's not ready for us to be so sure about life
I'm pouring my heart out, begging for acceptance
I'm doing this for myself, but more importantly for us
Noon turns to midnight
Love turns to lust
No one ever told me people were so hard to trust
If other people can do this and come out with a story to tell
Then I'll fight through it all; clinging on a stem like the last rose petal
Just call me Cinderella
