Standing in the shadows
As you claim the spotlight
Always the center of attention
Don’t forget to step on the little people
As you climb
Do you even remember?
Crying on my shoulder
Talking about nothing
Just being there
Didn’t mean a damn thing
Did it?
It did to me
But I’ve always been sentimental
Used me then
Use me now
I’ll find a way to be the victim
Even from the background
Play the fool again
Keep up your appearances
Shallow as they may be
I can’t give you what you want
But you’ll drain me anyway
As long as I let you
Why change now?
Why try something new?
We can have the same old failures
Your audience awaits
And far be it for me to hold you back
Another one of those “inspired by multiple people and events, but mostly one in particular” pieces. Pretty close to home, too, as it reflects the same spot I find/put myself in repeatedly. Ah well, what’s a poor fool to do?
