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 down 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 mama, sweeping under the rug
Look down 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
What if I told you the sky wouldn't fall
If you lost your composure [?] to help 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?
