[Verse 1]
I'm an iceberg
There's so much more that your eyes can't see
Two girls walk into a party
The one that gets noticed isn't me
I'm holdin' on
But barely, plagued by teenage popularity
It's a terrible feeling being the ghost on the wall
That’s always disappearing
[Chorus]
'Cause I wanna be somebody to someone
But it all is starting to blur like a dream
Burn the sash and smash that tiara
No, that's not me
I'll never be prom queen
[Verse 2]
I'm a wanderer
I weave my way by dancin'
In hopes that the cool kids will ask me to stay
I'm invisible to bright lights
Just standing on the sidelines
Waiting for a standing ovation
That I know just isn't mine
[Chorus]
'Cause I wanna be somebody to someone
But it all is starting to blur like a dream
Burn the sash and smash that tiara
No, that's not me
I'll never be prom queen
No, that's not me
I'll never be prom queen
[Bridge]
It's okay, it's okay
I'll convince myself it's overrated anyway
It's okay, it's alright
The jealousy in my bones won't rattle tonight, oh
It's okay, it's okay
I'll convince myself it's overrated anyway
It's okay, it's alright
The jealousy in my bones won't rattle tonight
[Chorus]
'Cause I wanna be somebody to someone
But it all is starting to blur like a dream
Burn the sash and smash that tiara
No, that's not me
I'll never be prom queen
No, that's not me
I'll never be prom queen
No, that's not me
I'll never be prom queen

In an interview with Mjsbigblog, Turner remarks:
[The title] “Prom Queen” sounds like it’s going to be a bop–a pop song. But it’s actually the opposite. It’s about how I was in a dark place. It came from a very dark place in my life post-Idol where I was confused about everything because no one re...
