Young girl living in a dirty town The big world trying hard to pull her down No love and sick of being pushed around She stopped believing Someone would ever wanna hold her tight For just one second in her lonely life Young girl I wish I could open her eyes She's beautiful I know, but she doesn't know She can't shake her heartache Her teenage dream has gone to waste She's beautiful I know, but she doesn't know that's the case The door slams but she's too afraid to speak Raised hands, mascara runs down her cheek Big man come and pick a fight with me If you think you're hard enough Choked up she rolls another cigarette She can't stop dwelling on the emptiness Young girl sick of feeling second best And she can't see that She's beautiful I know, but she doesn't know She can't shake her heartache A teenage dream gone to waste She's beautiful I know, and she doesn't know that's the case But it's written all over her face
