–

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Left your sneakers at my place
In the morning
Didn't even wash your face

Oh yeah, oh yeah
You left me with a bad vibe
I don't know why
And I hoped you would stay
But you pushed me away

Now you're speaking Cinderella Language
Now you're trying to take advantage
Yeah, you know I gotta have it
I tried others but they won't fit

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Cinderella, run away
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Did you get the shoes replaced?

Oh yeah, oh yeah
You used up all your wishes and now you're lost
And I hoped you would stay
But you're hiding away

Now you're speaking Cinderella Language
Now you're trying to take advantage
Yeah, you know I gotta have it
I tried others but they won't fit

Frankly speaking, I'm in love with the ocean
You're telling me I'm always late
I'm sorry that I made you wait
Trust me, it's not me
It's the tides, they're shifting every day

And I get a little sentimental when the sun goes down
I'm trying to make the money
'Cause you deserve a crown
You deserve it all
You deserve a good man like me
I hope that's the man I can be, see?

It's the future nostalgia that I'm feeling
What if the trauma from the past don't heal
And I'm still here?
I'm still standing in the hallway
Half-way waiting for you to come back to me

I still believe we can make it through it all
I'll lift you if you fall
Be honest, I can tell when you're pretending
Lift the veil, time's running out, magic is gone
If it's a fairy tale, where's the happy ending?

Now you're speaking Cinderella Language
Now you're trying to take advantage
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
