Young girl living in a dirty town
The big world trying hard to pull her down
No love and sick of being pushed around
She stopped believing

Someone would ever wanna hold her tight
For just one second in her lonely life
Young girl I wish I could open her eyes

She's beautiful I know, but she doesn't know
She can't shake her heartache
Her teenage dream has gone to waste
She's beautiful I know, but she doesn't know that's the case

The door slams but she's too afraid to speak
Raised hands, mascara runs down her cheek
Big man come and pick a fight with me
If you think you're hard enough

Choked up she rolls another cigarette
She can't stop dwelling on the emptiness
Young girl sick of feeling second best
And she can't see that

She's beautiful I know, but she doesn't know
She can't shake her heartache
A teenage dream gone to waste
She's beautiful I know, and she doesn't know that's the case

But it's written all over her face
