I picked up the picture frame that contained Taylor's photo.
It's been five years since I've seen her face
She's the holy ghost lost without a trace
And now we're left with the "what ifs"
It's been five years since she left for LA
She's an angel with a dirty face
I haven't seen or heard from her in a while.
And it seems to me
She's a causality
Of all the pressure
That we put on her
And now we've lost her for good
She was such a beautiful, talented girl--smart, too.
But she never got to show it.
It's such a shame, shame, shame
That our homecoming queen
Was a lot like you
And a lot like me
And she never walked on water
Guess no one really saw her
She's always be what everyone else wanted her to be.
She was so adored by everyone
When it came to looks she was next to none
But loved partyin' and having too much fun
Then she hooked up with the wrong someone
And he promised everything under the sun
No one had ever seen her real side.
And it seems to me
She's a causality
Of all the pressure
That he put on her
And now we've lost her for good
But, now, it's too late.
It's such a shame, shame, shame
That our homecoming queen
Was a lot like you
And a lot like me
And she never walked on water
'Cause no one really saw her
I wish I could've helped her.
She'd always say that she was fine.
But I knew that she wasn't.
A shame, shame, shame
That our homecoming queen
Had a lot to prove
And so many to please
She's just somebody's daughter
Just looking for somebody to love her
I sighed, then set the picture from down.
Well I never knew you
Wish I could've saved you
From losers that drained you
Before you got strung out
With so much potential
How could you let us down
I slowly walked to the other side of the Hagan's house, coming to a stop in front of a casket.
It's such a shame, shame, shame
That our homecoming queen
Was a lot like you
And a lot like me
And she never walked on water
'Cause no one really saw her
She was tired of being fake. She was tired of acting like someone that she wasn't.
But it was too late to change that.
So she killed herself.
A shame, shame, shame
That our homecoming queen
Had a lot to prove
And so many to please
She's just somebody's daughter
Just looking for somebody to love her
I looked around the room.
Melissa, Nathan, Daley, Lex, Eric, Abby, Ian, and Jory stood together, comforting one another.
Mr. and Mrs. Hagan sat next to each other. Mr. Hagan silently cried, while his wife sobbed.
Several other people stood around the room, chatting quietly--catching up on the latest gossip.
This isn't how Taylor would've wanted it.
She's just somebody's daughter
Just looking for somebody to love her
I put my eyes on the casket again, then spoke gently. "I'm gonna miss you, Taylor."
It's such a shame, shame, shame...
It's such a shame, shame, shame...
It's such a shame, shame, shame...
It's such a shame, shame, shame...
It's such a shame, shame, shame...
It's such a shame, shame, shame...
It's such a shame, shame, shame...
It's such a shame, shame, shame...
It's such a shame, shame, shame...
