My story is untold, and maybe it should stay that way.
Regardless, today is a big day
Today everything I've wanted since I was a boy will come true
Today I don't have to worry about my maddening love for control to show through
Today I was a step closer to satisfying my hunger for control

Today I was marrying Cinderella once and for all
    
I love to control and charm
That’s how I got my name
My royal assistant noticed
So I was forced to end her inevitable pain
When I met Cinderella I sensed her godmother's magic
Poor girl thought she found love, how tragic

I pretended to be smitten
But you can't blame me, it was almost too easy
No one questioned why I couldn't remember her face
Simple
I didn't care for her, I wanted only her magic
I guess everyone who told her story lacks logic  

But here I am today
And in a few hours, Cinderella will be on her way
Just fill a distressed damsel with fake love whenever

And in return she'll love you forever

Poor Cinderella doesn't know what's coming her way
Regardless, today is a big day
While I take care of Cinderella in her own way
There's something I'd like to say

Ever wonder why "happily ever after" is on the last page?
Because if it doesn't work out happily, there's no room for change.
                                                  -Sincerely, Prince Charming
