beauty queen beauty queen beauty queen... beaty queen... [Verse 1] You walked in like a magazine, all gloss and glow, Every room you owned it, everybody told you so. Heads would turn like seasons, hearts would fall like rain, You cashed your smile for favors, traded charm for fame. Mirror on the dresser knew your every line by heart, Taught you how to weaponize a wink, a work of art. Doors swung wide for diamond eyes and lipstick alibis, You never had to knock, just hypnotize. [Pre-Chorus] But crowns get heavy when the kingdom changes kings, And pretty only carries you till winter clips your wings. [Chorus] Oh beauty queen, your throne is made of sand, The tide came in and washed away your plans. You wore your face like armor, thought it made you strong, Now the war is over and you don't belong. Beauty queen, the cameras turned away, Your name in lights got swallowed by the gray. You used to trade your halo for a ticket everywhere, Now beauty don't buy mercy, and nobody cares. [Verse 2] Remember velvet ropes that parted like the sea? Guest lists learned your heartbeat, spelling out VIP. You ordered second chances off the menu with a glance, Made CEOs forget their wives in one slow dance. Filters loved you first, then left you in the draft, Time don't ask permission, and it never laughs. The followers kept scrolling, found a newer muse, Your sparkle turned to static on the evening news. [Pre-Chorus] And youth's a currency that banks don't reimburse, You spent it like a fortune, now your pockets feel the curse. [Chorus] Oh beauty queen, your throne is made of sand, The tide came in and washed away your plans. You wore your face like armor, thought it made you strong, Now the war is over and you don't belong. Beauty queen, the cameras turned away, Your name in lights got swallowed by the gray. You used to trade your halo for a ticket everywhere, Now beauty don't buy mercy, and nobody cares. [Bridge] You tried to pay the reaper with a photograph, He said your symmetry won't make him laugh. You tried to bribe the future with a perfect pose, It said your résumé of roses finally closed. The mirror's honest now, it doesn't flirt or lie, It shows the maps of every night you let time pass you by. No encore for the angels when the stage is stripped and bare, And silence is the loudest when you’re gasping for a stare. [Verse 3] So you learn to talk with substance, not with symmetry, Learn to build a castle out of empathy. Words you never practiced gotta carry weight, Cause pretty doesn't open any locks on fate. You trade the crown for calluses and earn your keep, Sow the kind of beauty that you get to keep. It don't fade in flashbulbs, doesn't age in frames, It answers when you whisper it a different name. [Final Chorus] Oh beauty queen, your throne is gone, but stand, You’re more than what they clapped for, more than what they planned. You wore your face like armor, thought it kept you safe, Now you’re learning love is what you have to make. Beauty queen, the world moved on, it’s true, But grace don't need permission, and it looks good on you. You used to trade your halo for a ticket everywhere, Now you’re buying freedom, and you finally dare. [Outro] So let the crown collect dust, let the pictures fade to blue, The girl who lived for mirrors found a view. Beauty didn’t save you, but it taught you how to fall, And rising's what they’ll remember, after all. beauty queen beauty queen beauty queen beauty queen beauty queen beauty queen beauty queen beauty queen
