A co-write with Zan Cantwell.
Welcome to my page! I hope you like it here.
I’ve been writing songs on and off for the past 30 years. I tend to write country although I'm known to write songs that are more folk or rock. Sometimes when I sit down with a guitar I surprise myself with what comes out!
Lyrics
Cinderella, You Lied
Zan Cantwell/Gina Gibbins
If she seems a little distant, try to understand
This isn?t the life that she had planned
She dreamed she?d be a princess from the age of five
But now she?s down at the factory, working overtime.
She thinks back on her younger days, tea parties and pony tail
Wearing bright pink dresses, gold tiaras with a veil
In a Castle in some magic land Prince Charming by her side
But that fairytale would never ever see the light
Cinderella you lied, it?s all been just a myth
Happily-ever-after isn?t supposed to be like this
With a family to care for and bills on the rise
Glass slippers don?t come in every size
Oh, oh Cinderella you lied
She loves her children dearly, though they get to her sometimes
She sees her sad reflection in her daughter?s eyes
When she puts on that same pink dress, make-up and her pearls
She?s her spitting image, she?s momma?s little girl
(Bridge)
Someday she?s going to tell her that when she?s through pretending
Hold on to your dreams little girl, but write your own happy endings
Cinderella you lied, it?s all been just a myth
Her happily-ever-after was meant to be like this
Looking at her family it's not hard to realize
The shoes she?s wearing now fit her just right
Oh, oh Cinderella you lied
Oh, oh Cinderella you lied
