homecoming queen?

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 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

Even the homecoming queen cries

Hey, homecoming queen

Why do you lie?

When somebody's mean

Where do you hide?
