You're Too Young
She was so clever for her ageAs a kid she took pride in everything she said or did,She was born as an angel, ticked every box in the listHow could someone so beautiful end up like this?She was brought up on an everyday council estate,had friends and family who were never too far away
Even as a kid she'd sometimes lose her temperand if attentions being given garunteed she’s in the center,School was a struggle, result of her behaviourexcluded for the fights, a saint a few days latercoz when she got angry, she'd flip, see redYou’re too pretty for the violence, her mum always said
She had high asperations, she was chasing the dreamUntil her first conviction at the age of fourteenShe nearly killed a girl just for looking the wrong waySmashed her head so hard against the groundshe was unconscious for days,Passers by stopped to witness the torture,While she stamped on the head of a policemans daughter,No remorse for the cause of the magistrates court,It was everybody elses fault of course
(Refrain)what you doing with your night?you’re too young to ruin your lifewhat you doing with your life?you’re too young to die tonight
After that things began to slip out of gripAnd her grades were failing but she didn’t give a…She was top dog at school and all the girls were scaredAnd when she walked through the corridors, all the boys stared
She craved to be wanted she didn't care howShe wanted everything including this guy Ben she liked nowHe was 19, liked fighting and smoking the greenHe was a dealer, had a beamer, she thought he was a dream
She got his number ‘hey you okay text back Chelsea Price’It was monday they agreed to meet up on friday nightShe played it cool, the whole week she wondered what to wearShe planned her jewellery, her makeup, her shoes and her hair
The days went so slow, school was so boringBut before she knew it, it was already friday morningShe was nervous and scared but in a good way,She had no idea that this was no ordinary day
When she walked down the stairs it was 7 o’clock,He was coming at 8, she had to iron her top7:45 came and she looked gorgeousRapunzel let out too early from the fortress
(Refrain)
She gets in the car, says hi, they drive offThey head to a car park where he can skin upShe gets into conversation nods and smilesand she feels so happy and not even shy
A girl pulls up, sees Ben and screamsHe puts the car in gear and gets ready to leaveThis girl gets outta the car and stands in frontshe screams ‘thats my boyfriend get out you little…’
Chelsea turns to Ben who just shrugs you don't believe herShe's never been scared and she's not today eitherShe puts her hand on the door and gets out to fightShe's angry now this bitch has just ruined her night
The two girls clash, hair pulling, fists flyingChelsea sees blood gushing the other steps back cryingChelsea grins coz she thinks she's wonThen she looks at Bens face who's completely stunned
Then there's a pain in the middle of her stomach,The bloods on her t-shirt, the other girl starts runningChelseas heart thuds, panic sets in moreLooks down at the pool of bloodand there's a knife on the floor
(Refrain)
She hears tires screeching, loosing so much bloodBens car's gone it's got a boot full of drugsShe lies there eyes wide open facing the sky,Thoughts roll outta her mind while she questions why
Her last movement and the tears she's crying,She thinks about her family as she lies there dying,She's alone on her own because of the violenceCan't hear people or friends or help or sirens
She whispers ‘I'm sorry’There's no one on the way,as she returns to an angel,and her soul slips away
(Refrain)
