Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Cherry red lipstick, stained on a champagne flute
Sipping slow, watching the spotlight pollute
Diamonds dripping, like every tear I used to cry
Learned to play the game, watch the vultures slowly fly
(Pre-Chorus)
They whisper 'bout the heartbreak, the narrative they write
But honey, I rewrote it, bathed it all in neon light
Used to be the princess, now I'm queen of my own game
Tore down all the castles, built an empire in my name
(Chorus)
This ain't a fairy tale, darling, this a middle finger salute
Smashing expectations, leaving critics feeling mute
Got the glitter on my skin, the fire in my soul
Yeah, I play the victim card, but watch me take control
(Verse 2)
Remember all the nights, I cried into my pillowcase?
Turned that pain to power, a million dollar embrace
Every doubt, every teardrop, became the fuel I burn
Burning down the bridges, lessons that I learn
(Pre-Chorus)
They'll try to box me in, a damsel in distress
But I'm the architect, I built my own success
Don't need a prince to save me, I'm my own happily ever after
Built a throne on heartbreak, laughter mixed with slaughter
(Pre-Chorus)
They'll try to box me in, a damsel in distress
But I'm the architect, I built my own success
Don't need a prince to save me, I'm my own happily ever after
Built a throne on heartbreak, laughter mixed with slaughter
(Chorus)
This ain't a fairy tale, darling, this a middle finger salute
Smashing expectations, leaving critics feeling mute
Got the glitter on my skin, the fire in my soul
Yeah, I play the victim card, but watch me take control
(Bridge)
Maybe I'm a villain, maybe I'm the hero
Doesn't matter the label, watch the empire grow
Used to be a whisper, now a symphony of noise
This ain't a love song, baby, this is the sound of my choice
(Chorus)
This ain't a fairy tale, darling, this a middle finger salute
Smashing expectations, leaving critics feeling mute
Got the glitter on my skin, the fire in my soul
Yeah, I play the victim card, but watch me take control
(Outro)
Yeah, I take control, watch me take control
This ain't a fairy tale, this is rock and roll
