Verse 1:
She's a 19 year old beauty queen
From in between
A one-hourse town and hell
She's trying to find her way
In the middle of LA
Bussing tables
'Till she finds a record deal

One day she'll open up her eyes
and realize
That this ain't where she wants to be,
She wants to be

Chorus:
She's a lost sole
Searching for her life
And then she's sifting through
The fairy tales and lies
Up before the sun
And she's drifting farther from
The dreams she came here to find
She's still waiting for her life

Verse 2:
She was the queen of her town
Got with everyone around
And always thought she'd have it all
And now she's just a pretty face
Wasting all her days
On guys that ain't worth her time at all

Now she opens up her eyes
to realize
That this ain't where she wants to be,
She wants to be

Chorus

Bridge:
She's in the city of lost angels
Land of failed dreams
Girl in the mirror
Ain't who she's supposed to be
 

Chorus
