Homecoming Queen

It's been five years since I've seen her face

She's the holy ghost, lost without a trace

And now we're left with the "what-ifs"

It's been five years since she left for LA

She's an angel with a dirty face

And it seems to me she's a casualty of all the pressure

That we put on her, and now we've lost her for good

It's such a shame, shame, shame that our homecoming queen

Was a lot like you and a lot like me

And she never walked on water

Guess no one really saw her

She was so adored by everyone

When it came to looks, she was next to none

But loved partying and having too much fun

Then she hooked up with the wrong someone

And he promised everything under the sun

And it seems to me she's a casualty of all the pressure

That he put on her, and now we've lost her for good

It's such a shame, shame, shame that our homecoming queen

Was a lot like you and a lot like me

And she never walked on water 'cause no one really saw her

A shame, shame, shame that our homecoming queen

Had a lot to prove and so many to please

She's just somebody's daughter, just looking for somebody to love her

Well, I never knew you

Wish I could've saved you

From losers that drained you

Before you got strung out

With so much potential

How could you let us down?

It's such a shame, shame, shame that our homecoming queen

Was a lot like you and a lot like me

And she never walked on water 'cause no one really saw her

A shame, shame, shame that our homecoming queen

Had a lot to prove and so many to please

She's just somebody's daughter, just looking for somebody to love her

She's just somebody's daughter, just looking for somebody to love her

It's such a shame, shame, shame

It's such a shame, shame, shame

It's such a shame, shame, shame

It's such a shame, shame, shame

It's such a shame, shame, shame

It's such a shame, shame, shame

It's such a shame, shame, shame

It's such a shame, shame, shame
