It's an obsession and an addiction
To look the way I do
And just to let you know
I do it all for you
Mascara runs down cheeks
Lipstick marks left on shirts
Life is like a fairytale
When your nothing but a flirt
Got to be perfect
To stay in this game
For this never ending waste of time
Your the one to blame
It's an obsession and an addiction
To be just like me
Running around with boys
Who aren't your "meant to be"
A young sixteen
Treated like a simple machine
The highschool beauty queen
Isn't like it is in your dreams
There's the need for perfection
This crazy addiction
To be the pretty one
Dating the head football star
And isn't it the saddest thing?
Everyone knows who you are
What your doing
Where your going
Everyone knows everything
There's rumours spread
Lies spoken
You have a mask of makeup
Just to try and hide your pain
These are the confessions
Of a highschool beauty queen again

Oooooo...!
The highschool beauty queen isn't perfect, let's all go shoot ourselves..!
Lol.. That's really good babe, I love the way you take something, and turn it into something else, it's like your taking the beauty queen of the school and making her the stereotyped emo. I love it 100%
It's so true that they have the pressure to be perfect.. and yet, they aren't..
♥ you boo

Hey. I love this! You've go a real eye for seeing people for what the are or most likey are! My favorite part is:
"A young sixteen
Treated like a simple machine
The highschool beauty queen
Isn't like it is in your dreams..."
Great stuff!
