It Rained On Prom Night

Pretty make up and fairy tales

Sparkly shoes and yards of lace and silk

You curled you hair and tried not to cry

as you saw how beautiful you could be

All for a prince

Who's not really a prince at all

And even though the rain poured down,

You made the sun seem to shine.

You danced your heart out with your friends

And hoped your prince would notice

But instead he crushed your spirits

And ruined your magic

took the sparkle out of your eye.

You stood out in the rain

Hoping no one would see you cry

As your dress got soaked

and your make up ran down your face,

Black glitter tears falling from your eyes,

You tore off your fake nails

letting them lay scattered around you

trying to get rid of

everything you think you're not.

Yet through your tears and sadness

Cruel thoughts running through your mind

His picture glued to your memory,

You didn't notice the boy

who saw the sun through all that rain

Who wished he'd had the courage

to ask such a beautiful princess to dance

It broke his heart to see her cry,

He didn't know why.

But he was too afraid to ask her

Why it rained on prom night.
