I Gotta Go

Look at me, Cinderella
Stroke of midnight, footman gone
My glass slippers, now they're Merrells
And Prince Charming, he's just wrong

Spell is broken, unenchanted
Someone else's sheets are soiled
Linens she picked up at Bloomie's
For a marriage that I spoiled

I gotta go
I gotta hail a pumpkin coach
And I gotta go
This ain't my room my man approach
And I gotta go
I deserve better or different or worse
But I gotta go
There's no wedding bells for this
Just (?)
I gotta go

Fairytales all end in "Happily"
But all fairytales end in "Grim"
Why did I think this would solve me?
If there's an answer it ain't him

I gotta go
I don't know where, but somewhere out there
Somewhere to go
Somewhere where someone will see me as someone
That they don't want to go
So I gotta go
If I don't go and pause, my life's past midnight
I gotta go
Where there's breakfasts and
crosswords and see-ya-tomorrows after the night
I gotta go
I gotta--
I gotta go
The world is a question
This room is an answer
And the answer is no

I gotta go
I gotta be free
Me!
Donna Bloom!
