you located the weakness and casually opened the door

leaving everyone speechless, like you'd been here before

standing there, in the doorway, you simply let yourself in

melting the ice away, you sat yourself next to him

never reading the room you aptly ignored the signs

as if it was owed, you set your sights on what's mine

you played it off as a joke to keep the judgement at bay

blowing circles of smoke around the indiscretions displayed

most sat and watched, as the scene slowly unfolded

but you kept your eyes down to maintain your composure

the tension soon rising, like myself, from the chair

you found it surprising to see that I no longer cared

left to your devices and a second rate man

stupid games, stupid prices still you stuck to your plan

to sever a marriage and set fixed on your high horse

cinderella and carriage on a collision course

cause the truth is a hard pill, jagged and uneven

your kind of emptiness can't fill the tales you believe in

truth is, he is no prince and you're not cinderella

just an unfaithful prick and a second rated cruella
