Cassidy Dzoole - Cheerleader Lyrics

She walks the halls Miss Popular
Looking at me as beneath her
Long auburn hair, piercing green eyes
Little did I
Know that it was all a disguise
Oh Cheerleader
Teacher's pet, adored everywhere
Why do you spit on my worth?
Oh Cheerleader
Brushing through life without a care
Do you enjoy causing hurt?
All night in bed I tossed and turned
Wishing I could have
Said something to embarrass her
I replayed the scene time after time
Her upturned face those searing eyes
I couldn't grasp the reason why
To her I was always kind
Little did I
Know of all that pain inside
Oh Cheerleader
Teacher's pet, adored everywhere
Why do you spit on my worth?
Oh Cheerleader
Brushing through life without a care
Do you enjoy causing hurt?
Night after night day after day
I pick apart her social media page
But one afternoon I scroll and see
A video of her routine
Before she doses off to sleep
She says
I take these pills to wake up happy
Oh Cheerleader
I thought you had it all together
I didn't know your days were filled with gloom
Oh Cheerleader
You're as fragile as a feather
I didn't know what you were going through
You wanted me to hurt like you did
Disrespecting me on a regular basis
And it worked for a moment
But I escaped your
Emotional homeostasis
And now
I'm going places
Oh Cheerleader
I thought you had it all together
I didn't know your days were filled with gloom
Oh Cheerleader
You're as fragile as a feather
I didn't know what you were going through
Oh Cheerleader
Hurting others ain't the answer
Their newfound pain won't quell your misery
Oh Cheerleader
I hope that you're doing better
I've healed from the pain you've caused me
I hope one day you'll be free
And I hope that you find peace
