Lyrics
She was a smart girl, bnetter than the rest
She took her turn, she made a mess
Hated the small talk, never one to stay
She was a smart girl, in her own way
The lure of a good time, the freedom of choice
She took it all, she raised her voice
But trouble was brewing, she knew it all along
She was a smart girl but she had it all wrong.
Thirsty for trouble, with no one to tell
Fear of failing, fear of doing too well
I don't need you and I wont cry.
Everyone always saying goodbye.
He took her home, the look in his eye
She knew it was wrong, but her hands were tied
They were on fire, and moving way to fast
Noi one to tall them it wouldn't last
Fire and brimstone, she's going to Hell
Fear of failing, fear of doing too well
You can't hurt me, just go ahead and try, I'll be the first one saying goodbye.
She was laughing on her way out the door
She just left him, laying on the kitchen floor
So, when they all got there, she was long gone
She was a smart girl but she had it all wrong.
Thirsty for loving, with no one to tell
Fear of failing, fear of doing too well
You can hurt me cause I'm just too strong
SHe wqas a smart girl but she had it all wrong.
