Beauty Queen falls asleep You're just fourteen, and my dear, What have you seen?
Cuddle up to me I'll help you live your fantasy And try to be there when you wake But my promises always seem to lead to mistakes
I try to get Why, why, why And she tries to get By, by, by Everyone around me gets High, high, high And I can't remember the colour of her eyes
In her sleep she cries For the past and old goodbyes While in a wakened state preaches no regret And no hate
She's been looking in every face for A little happiness, a little faith but All of the ones she finds, seem to come At the wrong time Just leading her down a path She don't know where it goes But she cannot get back
Well, I try to get Why, why, why And she tries to get By, by, by Everyone around me gets High, high, high And I can't remember the colour of her eyes
Beauty Queen Falls asleep You're just fourteen And my dear, there's so much still to see
Well, I try to get... Well I try to get Why, why, why As we say Goodbye, bye, bye Well she spreads her wings and she flies 'Til I can't see the colour of her eyes I cannot see the colour of her eyes
