I'm that little girl,
You thought you'd broken down
I was living in a fairytale
But I'm back now
My nightmares were overpowering
They just wouldn't stop
I've dried my tears from all those sleepless nights
Time to wake up now
My scars remind me of the pain that I've endured
The marks may fade but
The pain has been burned
Straight to my soul
Time to let the go.
So I'm packing up My bags
Saying bye to all my troubles
I'm lacing up my high tops
And running into battle
Magic genie in a bottle,
Won't you grant me one last wish?
Please take me to abetter place than this.
That damsel in distress has been set free
My knight in shining armor
Was me.
Forget that helpless girl
She's long gone
She's now a Queen
Who finally
Earned her Crown
Her inspiration was her
Beautiful soul
Society tried to lock her up
but she tore down the walls
The evil that tried to hurt her
Cowardly hide in fear
Her essence is glowing
At the darkness lurking near
She didn't flee
Nor did she fade
She realized
She is diamond made
Although the memories never die
She saved herself from
Endless midnight cries.
Life doesn’t often have happy endings
My love story still awaits
But I found freedom
What all of us deserve
I changed my so-called
Destined fate.
So I earned a lot more scars
And I've felt excruciating pain
But I saved a lost souls life
These battle scars are trophies
That I gained
In the end.
