How she was trained to be to serve another\'s need
Don\'t think about herself although she wanted to succeed
Teacher says she has potential parents laugh amongst themselves
Just because she gets good grades doesnt really mean she\'s smart
No college planned for her not allowed to dream of such a thing
Continue doing laundry and dishes too don\'t forget the vacuuming
If the house becomes a mess she better clean it quick
Daddy\'s got a belt for her siblings blame a favorite trick
Surrounded by thier anger best not to set them off
Sometimes it\'s unavoidable a target for thier wrath
Spend her life to try to please them until she finds a way to leave
Another copy of her family all rolled up into him
It all ends before beginning it\'s based upon a lie
Another decade later another marriage going wrong
Stay in therapy for years to get it figured out
Reparenting herself to learn how she deserves the best
Remember way back when silly thoughts she entertained
How she always loved to learn before they took it all away
Leave that family all behind best thing she ever did
No more shrinking violet now she holds her head up high
Still she\'s shy in person until you show her who you are
Painfully sensitive at times a thing she tries to hide
And now shes found a simple life it\'s safe to be alone
Really it\'s not what she wants its only what she knows
But then at times she wonders if she really dared to dream
If Cinderella found Prince Charming could she not do the same
