The beauty queen... she has to pay
For every love that turns away...

Go ahead, feel
the tangibility of her broken heart
Touch her crown but know it’s steel
She’s soft she’s fire she's real
But she’s not here just to be healed

Go ahead, feel
the receptivity of her broken heart
But don’t pretend you know the deal
Her love is deep her scars are real
She builds her army on what they steal

The candle burns...the sun still blinds
She’s danced alone a thousand times

The beauty queen...she has to pay
For every love that turns away

They couldn’t touch her they could only dream
She lives somewhere between star and scream
Not cruel just unseen
That’s how you survive as a mystical queen
Beauty Queens pay a price
