Homecoming queen? lyrics

Hey homecoming queen

Why do you lie?

When somebody's mean where do you hide?

Do people assume you're always alright?

Been so good at smiling most of your life

Look damn good in the dress, zipping up the mess

Dancing with your best foot forward

Does it get hard

To have to play the part?

Nobody's feeling sorry for you

But what if I told you the world wouldn't end

If you started showing what's under your skin

What if you let them all in on the lie

Even the homecoming queen cries

Hey homecoming queen

How's things at home?

Still walking on eggshells when that curtain's closed

Did your daddy teach you how to act tough?

Or more like your momma, sweep it under the rug

Look damn good in the dress, zipping up the mess

Dancing with your best foot forward

Did you want the crown?

Or does it weigh you down?

Nobody's feeling sorry for you

What if I told you the world wouldn't end

If you started showing what's under your skin

What if you let them all in on the lie

Even the homecoming queen cries

Yeah what if I told you the sky wouldn't fall

If you lost your composure, said to hell with it all

Not everything pretty sparkles and shines

And even the homecoming queen cries

Even the homecoming queen cries

Hey homecoming queen

Why do you lie?

When somebody's mean where do you hide?
