lyrics

She sits against, the kebab shop,
Her fake tan streaks,
Her extensions in knots.
Her brand new dress, is now all torn,
Her nails now chipped,
Her soul is worn.
Passers by pass by, don't look back,
As she weeps,
Into her lap.
She drank too much, to drown her fears,
Now all she's got,
Is her thoughts and her tears.

Oh Miss Cara,
You're always running Miss Cara.
From your fears,
And disguise it with laughter.
Oh Miss Cara,
You're always running Miss Cara.
Into some guys arms,
But he'll hurt you soon after.
Oh Miss Cara,
Oh Miss Cara.

She dreams of the night, that he'll arrive,
Her Prince Charming,
Her shining knight.
The man tonight, her told her lies,
He spoke so sweet,
the care in his eyes.
But all he wanted, was between her thighs,
Right up until,
A fitter girl walked by.
She thought it was him, but it's not,
So once again,
She's at the kebab shop.

Oh Miss Cara,
You're always running Miss Cara.
From your fears,
And disguise it with laughter.
Oh Miss Cara,
You're always running Miss Cara.
Into some guys arms,
But he'll hurt you soon after.
Oh Miss Cara,
Oh Miss Cara.

Now as she sits, and dawn draws near,
Her mind casts back,
To yesteryear.
All the boys that want, to settle down,
Are all the boys,
That she turns down.
She wants the guy, with pecks and money,
But she don't fit,
With his misogyny.
Now times ticked on, the moments gone,
The dickheads linger,
But the princes are gone.

Oh Miss Cara,
You're always running Miss Cara.
From your fears,
And disguise it with laughter.
Oh Miss Cara,
You're always running Miss Cara.
Into some guys arms,
But he'll hurt you soon after.
Oh Miss Cara,
You're always running Miss Cara.
From your fears,
And disguise it with laughter.
Oh Miss Cara,
You're always running Miss Cara.
Into some guys arms,
But he'll hurt you soon after.
Oh Miss Cara,
Oh Miss Cara.
