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 ya
But what if I told you
the world wouldn't end
If you started showing
what's under your skin
What if you let 'em all in on the lie?
Even the homecoming Queen cries
Hey homecoming Queen
How's things at home?
Still walking on eggshells
When that curtains closed
Did your Daddy teach you
How to act tough?
Or more like your Mama?
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 ya
What if I told you the
world wouldn't end
If you started showing
what's under your skin?
What if you let 'em 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
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Oh yeah
Even the homecoming Queen cries
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Hey homecoming Queen
Why do you lie?
When somebody's mean
Where do you hide?
