Beauty Queen Testo

Testo Beauty Queen

I was just eighteen
Days ago, I was a child
It was his Birthday
45 years round the sun

No one seemed to think that I was out of place
In the bar, drinking beer with all his friends
No one ever asked me if I was okay
When I was too drunk to stand
They just walked away

He took me home with him
Into the darkness hand in hand
Never felt more shame
It took me years to understand

Eyes upon me, like I was the one to blame
Like everyone in the whole world knew my name
Temptation he could not resist
My young body, my rosy red lips

Be free, Beauty Queen
Don't wear that crown forever
There's more to you than they can see
Be free Beauty Queen
Don't wear that smile forever
There's more to life than you now know

Soon I left Brighton
Took a train home to cure my blues
I dreamt of heaven
Gap in the clouds
Light to break through

It was just the beginning
I thought it was the end
I was yet to meet my two best friends
Told me all of the shit that they went through
And without them I don't know what I would do

Be free, Beauty Queen
Don't wear that crown forever
One day you will shine without it
Be free Beauty Queen
Don't wear that smile forever
Sometimes you're stronger without it
