Beauty Queen
from Veins EP by Hallow Bright
lyrics
By the fall of a penny
She can say she won’t
It’s not the words she tells me
But the things she don’t
My my, oh why
I put a load on all the things she says
Bye bye, so long
Come back to see me some other day
And now that I’ve got
The thing that I wanted most
It doesn’t feel like anything
I hoped
Dressed up again like a beauty queen
As far as I know, the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen
You used your looks, I took my steps
From the porch, straight into bed
I let her bite and let her in
I played along and let her win
Leave me outside and go
with the door wide open
And you took it all away
Just a silly game we played
With all the rules that you made
She can say she won’t
It’s not the words she tells me
But the things she don’t
My my, oh why
I put a load on all the things she says
Bye bye, so long
Come back to see me some other day
And now that I’ve got
The thing that I wanted most
It doesn’t feel like anything
I hoped
Dressed up again like a beauty queen
As far as I know, the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen
You used your looks, I took my steps
From the porch, straight into bed
I let her bite and let her in
I played along and let her win
Leave me outside and go
with the door wide open
And you took it all away
Just a silly game we played
With all the rules that you made
