It's been five years since Ive seen her face
She's the holy ghost lost without a trace
And now were left with the what ifs
It's been five years since she left for LA
She's an angel with a dirty face
And it seems to me
She's a casuality of all the pressure
That we put on her
And now we've lost her for good
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 was so adored by everyone
When it came to looks she was next to none
But loved partying and having too much fun
Then she hooked up with the wrong someone
And he promised everything under the sun
And it seems to me
She's a casuality of all the pressure
That he put on her
And now we've lost her for good
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
It's such 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
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
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
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
She's just somebody's daughter
Just looking for somebody to love her

Review about Homecoming Queen homecoming queen is back | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/14/09
To the reviewer who posted immediately after me: It's a song. I related to it personally....how SELFISH of me, huh? I am just as horrified with the news of the rest of the world as the next person. You might ask yourself what are you doing to make things better for others less fortunate? I believe you missed the whole point....In all honesty I joined the Peace Corps a month ago...So wah, wah all YOU want....I would rather be in tune with my feelings and my "personal journey" in life, enjoying a song at the time for the chord it strikes inside myself, than shallow and judgemental of people you really know nothing about. It's still a great song...there are better ones and more meaningful ones out there, but at the stage I was in the day I first wrote that, it helped me....Good luck to you and God Bless. (probably won't have much time to review much now....but my life is in a better place than yours will probably ever be....)

Okey whoever posted the review before me you have no idea what you're talking about! You think just because you get everything you want and your way you think that noone can sing about their problems?!?! Oh but you know as soon as you don't get your way you cry for days on end! Yea let's all be immautre and cap on good music. you wouldn't know good music if it bit your nose off and fed it to your cat!

Oh please. you make your life seem so hard. how hard could it possibly. so your parents have high expectations for you.. so what.. so do mine. and you know what nothing is ever good enough for them but i've become okay with that. so next time you want to complain about your life just think about the starving people all around the world or the little girl in Iraq who has to worry about the safety of her life everyday.
You are so right. The good thing is that I have put, or am trying to put the past behind me. I'm getting ready for graduation and going to a university where I will have a fresh start...a chance to just be me...where nobody knows or cares "hopefully" that I having been living the cookie cutter image of what my parents, my friends, the media portrays as the perfect life, the perfect girl, the one everyone wants to be. This new future I am facing is imperfect and I know I will make many mistakes breaking loose of the "shell"..but I'm ready for it. And for those of you who don't understand or wonder why I would write such things on a song review format...well....I don't understand either...just that this song was instrumental to me in realizing what a miserable life I face if I continue to live to please other people...I want to get to know myself...to like myself...to live a life of my own choosing...and afterall...who really cares about what we are/were in high school? Society has deemed me as one of the "social elite" but so freaking what??!!...well, anyway..I'm rambling...sorry...but listen to the song...and maybe somebody will realize that no matter what your situation in life is or what your social standing, we all need the same things....mainly love, but I think you have to love yourself first.

a true glimpse into the life of someone that no one really knows...most people only see the surface of others and never stop to think that there is someone inside that shell...and the ramifications are endless....

I know the pressure because I got voted homecoming queen. It's my theme song in a way because I've spent my whole life trying to please everyone around me and my biggest fear is that I'll screw it up...not that anybody really gives a crap...I thought someone did for a couple of years but he...well, he was the "wrong someone"...and now I basically live a lie....everyone thinks I've got it all together but I'm so messed up inside...
Sorry babe. | Reviewer: Corrinne | 1/13/08
I'v always liked this song. Then my girlfriend dedicated it to me last night, because well I fucked up. There's not much i can do now. It was a stupid thing to do and now i have to deal.
hey i heard this from a video and i liked it i was nice and i was really enjoyable but then it reminds me of my dead kitten tilly but i put this song on my phone and i love it
well i heard this off a video and i love it i didnt no what is was called untill i found it and well it was cool so i puted onmy phone and then i enjoyed the song it reminds me of my died cat!!!!!
Pete, the reference to the Holy Ghost was simply artistist license and a reference to how we can idolize something we don't know. How many of us have seen the homecoming queen and never realized that there's a human inside?
This tune had been way overlooked. No one knew Hinder until their recent album hit the charts and Kiss of an Angel put them on the map. Shame that since this tune rocks.
