Prom Queens Cry

She sits at home at the mirror
Watching tears rolling down her clothes
Shows a side that they don't know, don't know

Painted nails, branded T-shirts
They don't keep her warm from the cold
No one knows that she cries alone, alone

So she puts on a brave face
Telling everyone she's okay
The world goes on without asking
She slowly fades away

'Cause even though she hides her heart away
It's fragile just the same
And when she cries she knows her makeup
Won't hide her face

You can let it out, let your walls down
The world will come around
'Cause no matter how hard you try
Even prom queens have to cry

Another day another battle
Faking smiles to all her friends
No one knows who she really is, she is

So she wears a rehearsed look
Nods her head like a good girl should
The world turns on without stopping
She wishes someone would

'Cause even though she hides her heart away
It's fragile just the same
And when she cries she knows her makeup
Won't hide her face

You can let it out, let your walls down
The world will come around
'Cause no matter how hard you try
Even prom queens have to cry

Even prom queens have to cry
Even prom queens have to cry

'Cause no matter how hard you try
Even prom queens have to cry
