Anyone But You | Cinderella's Stepsister Song | Villain POV

👠 She always knew Cinderella's place. She just never imagined Cinderella would take hers. “Anyone But You” is an original dark fairy tale song retelling Cinderella from the stepsister's point of view. She had the dresses, the manners, and every reason to believe she'd be chosen. But nothing prepared her for losing to the one girl she'd never considered her equal. And some people would rather break themselves than admit defeat. #Cinderella #VillainPOV #DarkFairyTale #OriginalMusic _______________________________ 👠 Lyrics I liked you best in borrowed lace With ashes on your shoes You held the pins between your lips I told you what to do I learned the steps, the tilt of chin The way to turn and shine You held the candle steady I thought the light was mine His hand went past my fingertips And found you in the crowd I swallowed something sharp as glass And never made a sound I thought that life was made for me So why does it fit you? I wore the silk, you held the hem You had no right to dance But look at me, look at me Tell me what he saw in you I could have lost to anyone Anyone but you Your name creeps through the house at night Like smoke beneath a door I tear the pearls out of my hair And spill them on the floor They say you'd grant me mercy How generous of you Don't you dare forgive me now I haven't finished hating you Tell me that the candles lied That he was led astray Give me something I can curse That doesn't wear my face I thought that life was made for me So why does it fit you? I wore the silk, you held the hem You had no right to dance But look at me, look at me Tell me what he saw in you I could have lost to anyone Anyone but you The shoe was gold, my foot was wrong My mother passed the blade "A queen will never need to walk" Was all she had to say I held the scream between my teeth Until he spoke your name I thought that life was made for me So I broke myself to fit I left my blood upon the gold You slipped your foot right in But look at me, just look at me Was I so hard to see? I could have lost to anyone Anyone but you Was it his hand I wanted? Or yours beneath my heel?
