hi, it's me clara again and this time around i've decided to head forwards a new route in my songw...
Cinderella's heading back to being Miss Independent
Fuck it, I don't need love; love needs me
Next one that loves me better adore me eternally
If you know, you know what I mean
I'm moving on to bigger, better things
POST-CHORUS:
No, I don't need a prince
In fact the Prince needs me
Goddamn, the prince needs saving
Well look at that, the Prince needs me
But I'm moving on to bigger, better things
( Sorry not sorry )
2ND VERSE:
And the ballroom doesn't feel the same
Hang the disco ball, I'm prepared for fame
Play out the melodies, I'll bring along my dancing feet
But honey, I'm omitting that glass slipper shoe
Ain't it quite the shame it all broke down so soon?
Oh, I could've been good for you
But 'once upon a time' is done with
It turns out I could provide my own happiness
Currently living 'Happily ever after' cause it is what it is
CHORUS:
And the stairs make quite the row
Take the shoe back, I rather do this on my own
Cinderella's heading back to being Miss Independent
I don't need love; love needs me
Next one that loves me better adore me eternally
If you know, you know what I mean
I'm moving on to bigger, better things
POST-CHORUS:
No, I don't need a prince
In fact the Prince needs me
Goddamn, the prince needs saving
Well look at that, the Prince needs me
But I'm moving on to bigger, better things
( Sorry not sorry )
BRIDGE:
It was never my responsibility to forsee that the Prince succeeds
Sure, the Prince made me feel like royalty and like a worthy Darling
But now it don't mean a thing, no it don't mean a thing
Now it's time for me to shine like the star I truly am
The Good girl in me grew up and I don't give a damn
Yeah, this is who I am and it means everything to me
Aren't I a queen? Yeah, I'm glowing, glowing
CHORUS:
And the stairs make quite the row
Take the shoe back, I rather do this on my own
Cinderella's heading back to being Miss Independent
I don't need love; love needs me
Next one that loves me better adore me eternally
If you know, you know what I mean
I'm moving on to bigger, better things
POST-CHORUS/OUTRO:
No, I don't need a prince
In fact the Prince needs me
Goddamn, the prince needs saving
Well look at that, the Prince needs me
But I'm moving on to bigger, better things ( Sorry not sorry )
Yeah, this is who I am and it means everything to me
Aren't I a queen? Yeah, I'm glowing, glowing

Cinderella has got to go, and with that I temporarily conclude this songwriting chapter ( until 2026 and 2027 when the actual FD album will be released!! ) Farewell Faded Daydreams, welcome Tainted Illusions. I wrote this at the start of my y2k girlboss era in which I started to listen to 2000's pop queenies ( Britney and Kelly especially!! ), so I was inspired by the carefree attitude in their songs and wanted to write a confident bop to pick myself up from heartbreak!
