So turn this up She checks her face for traces And hopes no one could see she cried Oh, but streams of black betrayed her Revealing secrets where they dried You’d better pull yourself together He wasn’t worth those tidal eyes But at 17, the age that drama queens that chase home coming kings How could she really know that having days like these Are meant to make you stronger Give your heart some armor Hold on a little longer As trails of black mascara started running down your face And you’re hiding from the world Hoping they would go away Just when you thought that you can never shake your tears of gray He will come and tell you it’s okay You’re beautiful that way
Now she’s growing older Watching the years go by alone Oh, because the guys she’s dated they're nothing more than rolling stones Her friends get dressed in white They found the love she’s never know, never known, never known At 33, When beauty queens chase after their celebrities She trying to remember having days like these Are meant to make you stronger They give your heart some armor Hold on a little longer As trails of black mascara started running down your face And you’re hiding from the world Hoping they would go away Just when you thought that you can never shake your tears of gray He will come and tell you it’s okay You’re beautiful that way
