romeo and cinderella - english ver. lyrics
by Amiaryllis
I can’t let this romance be
Just another juliet kind of tragedy
I beg you, come sweep me off of my feet
Since that’s the way it should be
To mother, father, it’s the time for saying goodnight
Hoping the sweetest dreams can carry them to delight
Since it’s the time for the adults to go to sleep
I choke on caramel, so sweet it’s making me sick
Entwine my timid legs and hope you’re taking the hint
So for tonight, how gentle will you go with me?
Begging you, don’t bite me please
Just take it slow with me
These kinds of bitter tastes, they have me going insane
Guess that must be the price of only ever really eating mother’s sweets
Is it weird to want to know the things that i forgo?
I guess it’s natural to have a curious heart
Show me everything, and if you’ll be a good girl, too
I’ll show you everything that i have to you
I yearn for a passion like cinderella
And in these tattered rags, i’ll chase the you i dreamed of
Just once i plead, for the ticking clock to concede
Before the villains strike at the fated tick of midnight
I long to escape just like juliet did
But still, a rose by that name won’t smell as sweet
Hey, don’t you see, we were meant to live happily?
It’s not any fun if we don’t take off and run
So hey, why don’t you take my hand and run away?
This black mascara may have layered on a bit thick
But, come tomorrow i’ll be good for you, i promise
If it’s for me, can’t you just show some mercy, please?
Using this lace to set boundaries meant to be crossed
The guards are sleeping so who’s here to force you to stop?
Will you be brave? will you go further for today?
Sink your teeth right into me, come on and hurt me please
You really love me, right?
Come on and show me tonight
Papa doesn’t approve, but all that matters is how much i long for you
Tell me it’s because of love, that im not grown enough
But yet you cage me still, instead of setting me free
Won’t you come and save me, oh, my dearest romeo?
Take me somewhere they’ll never have to know
Now the bells chime at 12, and so cinderella
She leaves her shoe of glass as she tries to flee fast
And so, it clicks — that you’ve got to look for her quick
Or all her sweetest dreams will become consumed by nightmares
I’m sure, even when she had tried her best
She didn’t ‘drop’ it, no, this was a part of her test
And so, you see, it’ll be the same just for me
Since i need your love that i just can’t get enough of
Come on, look at the me who’s been here all along
Hey, won’t you just look inside of my heart and see all that i’ve been hiding
It’s burning up with desire, isn’t that kind of passion straight to your liking?
I’m longing for something more, come and save my hunger don’t keep me waiting
I want you to give me more than i could ever have been anticipating
But, surely that’s not all it has to be?
Is happiness better when taking it slow and, was it wrong of me to try and take it quickly?
But, what to do? if i can’t just change like i want to
This love we made, it’ll only rot into hate
My mother and father, they are always the same
Not even miracles could make their bitter hearts change
This honesty, is it really setting me free?
It seems this axe of gold is just a tale to be told
Consumed by her lies, it seems cinderella had met her darkest end with no-one left to defend
But, what to do? if i can’t just change like i want to
I’ll share her fate, and i’ll be consumed too one day
It’s not too late, i’m here and begging to be saved
