Modern Monroe

Doe eyes, big dreams Some may call her Norma Jeane Changed her appearance to be someone's beauty queen She holds a fake smile to her face She'll pretend everything's okay Her soul's broken and bruised From the times she's abused And they say Marilyn, Marilyn Please don't do this to yourself She wants to be noticed She wants to be loved She says she's that diamond in the rough Pretty face, broken heart All she wanted was a reason And when she found it, it wasn't enough Behind the curtain, her smile fades Diamonds like to cut her like razor blades Maybe she should've asked for help She thought she could handle it by herself And they say Marilyn, Marilyn Please don't do this to yourself She wants to be noticed She wants to be loved She says she's that diamond in the rough And they say Marilyn, Marilyn Please don't do this to yourself She wants to be noticed She wants to be loved She says she's that diamond in the rough But she can't quit her addiction Living in a world of fiction They don't love her like she wants
