homecoming queen? (ballerini album version)

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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?

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

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

[Outro]

Hey, homecoming queen

With tears in your eyes

Has somebody told you

It'll all be alright?
