Stupid girl look up from your hands
Stop trying to read the lines of the future or the past
You’re not there yet
You don’t live there anymore
Stupid girl look up from that book
Your prince charming is never coming
So here, read the newspaper  
Black and white cause this is reality  
Stupid girl stop looking at the stars
I know you miss your mom and all
But trying to decode the story of the galaxy wont bring her back
Stupid girl plaster on a smile
No one has time for the weak of heart  
For the weak of mind
Stupid girl did I give you permission to frown  
You have a home
Food  
Water  
A family or more like someone you are forced to see on Christmas and Thanksgiving
That’s more than the starving children in Africa have
Or the soldiers who will never really come home
Stupid girl wear a neck brace in this town
Cause if I see you let your chin droop lower than the Sears ******* Tower
I’m going to give you something  
To be broken about
