| 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
|
| Oh
|
| 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
|
| 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)
|
| Oh yeah (Ooh)
|
| Even the homecoming queen cries (Ooh)
|
| Mmm-mmm, mmm (Ooh)
|
| Hey, homecoming queen
|
| Why do you lie?
|
| When somebody’s mean
|
| Where do you hide? |
