Prom Queen Pt. 2
from C'est La Vie by Foxfire
lyrics
She was the prom Queen, she had it all figured out
Valedictorian, Vice President
She’d wait till the weekend to put down the books
The other girls hated her because of her looks
The cutest smile, the brightest eyes, I bet you’d be surprised to know the truth
Cause underneath this beauty queen, the saddest girl you've ever seen, I swear
Abusive father, needy mother, hasn't seen big brother in 6 years
So bite your lip and wipe your tears cause graduation isn't here just yet
She was miss popular, but no one knew the real her
Cheer-leading captain with a 4.0
She smiled and laughed, she played the part well
But nobody knew she was living in hell
Makeup, shoes, and alcohol, you've seen it all, you've done it all haven’t you
Drinking, drugs, and dating boys, anything to fill the void inside
Doctor, teacher, Harvard Law, she’d never make her parents very proud
Depression, fear, anxiety, the scars she had were more than just skin deep
You can’t fake your way out this time
She’d seen enough, she’d had enough, this teenage dream was turning into dust
Her father beat her every night, her friends were barely on her side it’s true
She laid there crying in her bed, cocked the pistol put it to her head
All her grades and school awards didn't really matter anymore
Valedictorian, Vice President
She’d wait till the weekend to put down the books
The other girls hated her because of her looks
The cutest smile, the brightest eyes, I bet you’d be surprised to know the truth
Cause underneath this beauty queen, the saddest girl you've ever seen, I swear
Abusive father, needy mother, hasn't seen big brother in 6 years
So bite your lip and wipe your tears cause graduation isn't here just yet
She was miss popular, but no one knew the real her
Cheer-leading captain with a 4.0
She smiled and laughed, she played the part well
But nobody knew she was living in hell
Makeup, shoes, and alcohol, you've seen it all, you've done it all haven’t you
Drinking, drugs, and dating boys, anything to fill the void inside
Doctor, teacher, Harvard Law, she’d never make her parents very proud
Depression, fear, anxiety, the scars she had were more than just skin deep
You can’t fake your way out this time
She’d seen enough, she’d had enough, this teenage dream was turning into dust
Her father beat her every night, her friends were barely on her side it’s true
She laid there crying in her bed, cocked the pistol put it to her head
All her grades and school awards didn't really matter anymore
