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 curtains closed Did your daddy teach you How to act tough? Or more like your momma? 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 Oh yeah Even the homecoming queen cries Hey homecoming queen Why do you lie When somebody's mean? Where do you hide?
