Lyrics

[Intro] You're beautiful With the shiniest diamonds in your ears You can't hear your mother she's crying in the other room She knows it won't be okay Farther from her daughter with the coming of the days [Verse] So you pick up your books, that you never read Run off to school like a good drama queen Do you care where you're going, or know where you've been? Barely a woman, you're 18 years in [Pre-Chorus] Our faith is placed in second chances As the angel and her demons dance, its [Chorus] Like you're 18 years in with no way out And you're the star of the story you don't care about Just a little girl in a bigger world turning upside-down Well, don't you throw it all away When no one's here to pull you out Gonna pull you out [Verse] You're beautiful With your brand new clothes Like armor from your head, from your head to your toes You keep it all inside so that nobody knows Your heart's on fire, people blind to the glow And all these boys are thirsty for your outsides You never care to ever let the right ones in They're taking from you something that is sacred I watched a car crash but I just can't take this [Pre-Chorus] Our faith is placed in second chances As the angel and her demons dance, its [Chorus] Like you're 18 years in with no way out And you're the star of the story you don't care about Just a little girl in a bigger world turning upside-down Well, don't you throw it all away When no one's here to pull you out [Bridge] And when you're safe and sound inside your bed I know you dream of things bigger than the things that you let live When you're safe and sound inside your bed I know you dream of things I, I know you dream 18 years in [Chorus] Like you're 18 years in with no way out And you're the star of the story you don't care about Just a little girl in a bigger world turning upside-down Don't you throw it all away When no one's here to pull you out
