Always at call

Night and day

To do whatever

You want to say

Like Cinderella I lay in wait

Unable to think and do for myself

Cause for you I have to do

A stupid mistake cost me

My freedom not you

I give up my life

Myself for you

But all you do is bitch and complain

Feeling like a dragon that has been slain

A Cinderella without a prince

And no glass slipper to break me free

Sitting and giving all of me

For your benefit only

My life is gone and all you can do

Is say what a burden I am on you

I wish I could just for once

Be a true care for you

But there I lie asleep in my desk

Because homework all night allows no rest

Hoping and praying that one-day

I will be free

From this life in which

There is no time to be me
