Glass Slipper
Breaking Free: Struggling in Unreciprocated Love
Lyrics
Listen, I'm getting tired of hearing the same thing over again,
Expressing frustration with repetitive conversations and a desire for change.
Missing the point I've been saying, and playing a blame game I can't win,
Feeling misunderstood and caught in a blame game with no resolution in sight.
Cause this one way me a reason why, do you even see me do you even care,
Questioning if the other person even notices or cares, feeling unacknowledged.
And the lie I'm living is in my, I wanna move on but I'm still right there
Living a lie, wanting to move on but feeling stuck in the current situation.
CHORUS:
Introduction of the chorus.
and I give and I give but I get nothing back but the words, that I've heard all before your're skipping like a broken record, and I never learn, yeah,
Expressing the frustration of giving without receiving, feeling like a broken record.
If I fit your glass slipper well I could be your perfect cinderella, so I try and I try until something inside of me breaks, I give and you take,
Desire to fit into the other person's expectations (represented by the glass slipper), despite personal cost.
Lately, I'm running on empty only pretending I like what you want, stop me, I'll say something crazy, I'll sya something stupid like it'll not,
Feeling emotionally drained, pretending to conform to the other person's desires.
And It's not like me to be apuppet on the end of a string,
Rejecting the role of a puppet controlled by someone else.
No It's not lik me to do what I'm told every time you speak,
Resisting conformity and not following instructions unquestioningly.
CHORUS:
Repetition of the chorus.
and I give and I give but I get nothing back but the words, that I've heard all before your're skipping like a broken record, and I never learn, yeah,
Reiteration of frustration with a lack of reciprocity, feeling like a broken record that never learns.
If I fit your glass slipper well I could be your perfect cinderella, so I try and I try until something inside of me breaks, I give and you take,
Continued desire to fit the ideal image, despite the toll on personal well-being.
I give and you take,
Highlighting the imbalance in the relationship—giving more than receiving.
And It's not like me to be the pretty little video dream,
Expressing discomfort with being objectified or portrayed in a way that doesn't feel authentic.
And It's not like me to be someone I don't wanna be,
Rejecting the idea of becoming someone they don't want to be for the sake of the relationship.
CHORUS:
Repetition of the chorus.
and I give and I give but I get nothing back but the words, that I've heard all before your're skipping like a broken record, and I never learn, yeah,
Reiteration of frustration with the one-sided nature of the relationship.
If I fit your glass slipper well I could be your perfect cinderella, so I try and I try until something inside of me breaks, I gïve and you take
Continued pursuit of fitting into the other person's expectations, despite internal struggles.
