Lucy Spraggan - You're Too Young Lyrics

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 in 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 attentions 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
" her mum always said
She had high aspirations
She was chasing the dream
Until her first conviction at
The age of fourteen
She nearly killed a girl just
For looking the wrong way
Smashed her head so hard against the ground
She was unconscious for days
Passers by stop to witness the torture
While she stamped on the head
Of a policeman's daughter
No remorse, for the course
Of a Magistrate's court
If was everybody else's fault of course

What you doin' with your night?
You're too young to ruin your life
What you doin' with your life?
You're too young to die tonight

After that things began to slip out of grip
And her grades were failing but
She didn't give a shit
She was top dog at school
And all the girls were scared
And when she walked through the
Corridors all the boys stared
She craved to be wanted, she didn't care how
She wanted everything including this guy
Ben she liked now he was 19
Liked fighting and smoking the green
He was a dealer had a beamer
She thought he was a dream
She got his number, "are you OK?"
Text back, Chelsea Price
It was Monday they agreed to
Meet up on Friday night she played it cool
The whole week she wondered what to wear
She planned her jewellery, her make-up
Her shoes and her hair
The days went so slow
Her school was so boring
But before she knew it it
Was already Friday morning
She was nervous and scared, but in a good way
She had no idea that it was no ordinary day
When she walked down the stairs
It was seven o'clock
He was coming at eight she
Had to iron her top
Seven forty five came and she looked gorgeous
Rapunzel let out too early from the fortress

She gets in the car says, "Hi
" they drive off
They head to a car park, where he can skin up
She gets into conversation, nods and smiles
And she feels so happy and not even shy
A girl pulls up, she sees Ben and screams
He puts the car in gear
And gets ready to leave
This girl gets out of the
Car and stands in front
She screams, "That's my fucking boyfriend
Get out you little"
Chelsea turns to Ben who just shrugs
She don't believe her
She's never been scared and
She's not today either
She puts her hand on the door
And gets out to fight
She's angry now this bitch has
Just ruined her night
The two girls clash, hair pulling
Fists flying chelsea sees blood gushing
The other steps back crying
Chelsea grins as she thinks she's won
Then she looks at Ben's
Face who's completely stunned
Then there's a pain in the
Middle of her stomach
The blood's on her t-shirt
The other girl starts running
Chelsea's heart thuds, panic sets in more
As she looks down at the pool of blood
And there's a knife on the floor

She hears tyres screech she's
Losing so much blood
Ben's car's gone he's got a
Boot full of drugs
She lies there eyes wide open facing the sky
Thoughts float out of her mind
As she questions why
Her last movements are the tears she's crying
She thinks about her family as
She lies there dying she's alone on her own
Because of the violence
Can'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
