you're too young

she was so clever for her age as a kid

she took pride in everything she ever said and did

she was born as an angel

ticked every box on the list

how could someone so beautiful end up like this?

she was bought up in an everyday council estate

had friends and family who were never too far away

even as a kid she'd sometimes lose her temper

and if attention's being given

guaranteed she's in the centre

school was a struggle

result of her behaviour

excluded for the fights

the same a few days later

'cause when she got angry

she'd flip

see red

you're too pretty for the violence
