Lyric

I was the one standing on the hill

Pity was the only kindness I’d let her feel

I played the queen, she was just the shadow

But now the garden’s hers, and I’m the one who’s shallow

Where did everybody go?

They don’t call my name anymore, don't you know?

Sandpaper heart, grinding in my chest

Where was the turn? Where did I lose the test?

I refuse to see it, I refuse to know

But I’m stuck here watching her glow

When did I become the one below?

My fake congratulations are just for show

Black ink swallowing the moon tonight

She’s blinding me with all that stolen light

I used to look down, now I’m looking away

Wishing for a storm to ruin her day

It’s a bitter, silent fall

From the height of it all

"Keep on trying," I’d say with a smirk

Watching her struggle, watching her work

But now that memory is a jagged blade

Cutting through the progress that she made

I was there first, I owned the stage

How did she jump to the final page?

Effort? Talent? Don't say those words

They’re the loudest screams I’ve ever heard

Burned by the sun she’s suddenly become

My colors are fading, I’m feeling numb

A silent scream that’s burning my throat

I’m sinking fast while she’s the only one afloat

And I can’t tell a soul, I can’t let it out

This poison is what my heart’s about

I’m gonna overtake her, just you wait

Using this malice to fuel my fate

Even if I’m spinning, even if I break

I won’t admit it was my own mistake

I’ll never say "I lost" to her face

I’m still the winner in this dying race

Burnt by her light, I turn my head

And find someone weaker to look down on instead

If I don’t feel superior to someone new

I’ll shatter into pieces... wouldn’t you?

I’m still tall

As long as you’re below
