There's shadows in the corner, mama leave on the light
The devil's outside my window, I can see the fire
It's dangerous to go outside to play
And once upon a time is so very far away
Every night the monsters, run around her dreams
And happy ever after, is impossible it seems
Her lullabies are changin' all their tunes
And innocence is slippin' by, goin' way too soon
We're losin' Cinderella shoes
Losin' Cinderella shoes
Fairy tales get lost sometimes
Superman can't really fly
And heroes aren't always bulletproof
We're losin' Cinderella shoes
The story books we read then, could take us to a place
Where make-believe and fantasy, would carry us away
I wish that we could go back to, the way it was before
Cause childhood dreams and magic things, aren't workin' anymore
We're losin' Cinderella shoes
Losin' Cinderella shoes
Fairy tales get lost sometimes
Superman can't really fly
And heroes aren't always bulletproof
We're losin' Cinderella shoes
I pray someday we'll find a way, to turn this world around
And love will conquer hate, but the way it is right now
Heroes aren't always bulletproof
We're losin' Cinderella shoes
