When I was just a little girl,
my mama used to tuck me into bed,
and she'd read me a story.
It always was about a princess in distress
and how a guy would save her and end up with
the glory.
I'd lie in bed and think about the person that I wanted to be.
Then one day I realized the fairytale life wasn't for me.
For no one else, I'd rather rescue myself.
Someday I'm gonna find someone who wants me but is so hard on mine,
who's not afraid to show that he loves me.
Somebody who will understand I'm happy just the way I am,
don't need nobody taking care of me.
I will be there for him just as strong as he will be there for me,
when I give myself that it has got to be an equal thing.
I'm sitting in a dark,
cold,
dusty center waiting for somebody to come and set me free.
I don't wanna be in lights,
no,
I'm waiting for handsome friends to
come and save me on a host of wine.
Unless we're riding side by side,
don't wanna be pinned on no one else.
I'd rather rescue myself.
Rescue myself.
Rescue myself.
Rescue myself.
I can slay
my own dragons.
I can dream my own dreams.
Bright light and shining armor against me.
Against me.
Against me.
Sitting in a dark,
cold,
dusty center waiting for somebody to come and set me free.
I don't wanna be in lights,
no,
I'm waiting for handsome friends to
come and save me on a host of wine.
Unless we're riding side by side,
don't wanna be pinned on no one else.
I'm sitting in a dark,
cold,
dusty center waiting for somebody to come and set me free.
Why can't you set me free?
I don't wanna be in lights,
no,
I'm waiting for handsome friends to
come and save me on a host of wine.
Unless we're riding side by side,
don't wanna be pinned on no one else.
