Sinderella
Savannah Dexter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Daddy I tried, He begged me to stay
And now I’m out here dancing in mascara rain
I think I’m heartless, crazy and hopeless
The clock struck 12 and I was Beautifully Broken
tonight I’m gonna drown in this second bottle of red
And let the past go, it made me
scared of love
It’s the reason, theirs a void where this ring once was
Phone rings- hello
Think you deserve the truth
Life’s hard I’m scared by what it put me through
Give me second and maybe you’ll understand
Why I’m the way I am
Wish I could tell her
Mama left Daddy, Daddy found you
Daddy bought a ring, you said I do
Instead of being momma you crushed my dreams
I was just baggage that Daddy had to bring
You and I know the stories I still ain’t told
Now every man I love wonders why I’m cold
I could hate you for the woman that I grew up to be
Or I could love you like you never loved me
Sinderella
Daddy I tried to make her love me the same
What I needed was love, all she gave me was blame
I think she’s heartless, crazy and hopeless
She built a happy home, but left me homeless
Your little girls got scars that just won’t heal
But tonight I’m drunk enough to tell her how I feel
And let the past go, it made me scared of love
It’s the reason there’s a void where this hearts once was
Phone rings- hello
Think you deserve the truth
Life’s hard I’m scared by what it put me through
Give me second and maybe you’ll understand
Why I’m the way I am
You see
Mama left Daddy, Daddy found you
Daddy bought a ring, you said I do
Instead of being momma you crushed my dreams
I was just baggage that Daddy had to bring
You and I know the stories I still ain’t told
Now every man I love wonders why I’m cold
I could hate you for the woman that I grew up to be
Or I could love you like you never loved me

The song "Sinderella" by Savannah Dexter tells the story of a woman who is struggling with her past and trying to come to terms with the reasons why she is the way she is. The lyrics tell a story of a toxic family dynamic, where the singer was neglected by her mother and grew up feeling like she was just a burden to her father, who eventually replaced her mother with a new partner. This left her feeling unloved and rejected, and contributed to her difficulty in forming healthy relationships later in life.
The song also explores themes of heartbreak, betrayal, and self-destructive behavior. The singer is struggling with alcoholism and is drowning her sorrows in a bottle of red wine, trying to numb the pain of her past. She admits to having played with someone's heart and ultimately leaving them for dead, possibly alluding to past relationships where she acted out in destructive ways. She also acknowledges that her behavior has made her heartless and crazy, but she can't seem to shake the scars of her upbringing.
Overall, "Sinderella" is a powerful exploration of the lasting effects of trauma and neglect, and how it can shape a person's entire life. It's a poignant reminder that even when we think we've moved on from the past, it can still have a powerful hold on us.

Daddy I tried, He begged me to stay
I wanted to leave, but Daddy pleaded with me to stay
And now I’m out here dancing in mascara rain
I am now alone and crying in the rain, my mascara smudging
I think I’m heartless, crazy and hopeless
I feel that I lack compassion, behave erratically, and am beyond repair
The clock struck 12 and I was Beautifully Broken
Something happened and it shattered me into countless pieces and yet I thrive with pain
Left him for dead,played with his heart and his head,
I hurt him so badly that he feels destroyed and played with his emotions and thoughts
tonight I’m gonna drown in this second bottle of red
Tonight I plan on drinking a lot of wine until I get lost in it
And let the past go, it made me scared of love
I struggle to move on from past traumas, it has me feeling afraid to love
It’s the reason, theirs a void where this ring once was
I cannot wear my wedding ring because it reminds me of the pain that happened due to my past
Phone rings- hello
My phone rang, I answered
Think you deserve the truth
You have the right to know the truth
Life’s hard I’m scared by what it put me through
I have been through a lot of unfortunate events in life, it scares me
Give me second and maybe you’ll understand
Please be patient with me and you may come to comprehend
Why I’m the way I am
The reasoning behind my actions and mannerisms
Wish I could tell her
I wish I could talk to her about how I truly feel
Mama left Daddy, Daddy found you
My mother left my father and he found you
Daddy bought a ring, you said I do
My father proposed to you and you accepted
Instead of being momma you crushed my dreams
You failed to act like a mother, and instead ruined my aspirations
I was just baggage that Daddy had to bring
I felt like I was just something my father had to drag around like luggage
You and I know the stories I still ain’t told
There are still many untold stories between us
Now every man I love wonders why I’m cold
Every man I encounter wonders why I am so distant and unemotional
I could hate you for the woman that I grew up to be
I could resent you for the person that I have become
Or I could love you like you never loved me
However, I could choose to love you in a way that you never loved me
Sinderella
The name I have deemed myself, feeling like the tragic heroine in Cinderella
Sinderella
The repetition of the name emphasizes the theme of the song
Sinderella
Another repetition to drive home the message
Sinderella
The final repetition to drive home the song's message
