Maya
Thirteen hours past under the weather
I don't think anybody's really got it any better
Crying her soul out screaming nobody truly gets her
I've known fools that were better actors
I watch her screaming, dying
As she screams and cries and fears
I've seen her dreaming, trying
Back when it was all worth the tears
Back when it was Maya, fire
She'll set the world ablaze
Maya, fire, her talent and her fame
Now I watch silent tears fall down that pretty face
Watch her fall from grace
Back when I was her shadow, granted,
Desperate for a single gaze
Back when she was Maya, who would set the school ablaze
Her talent and her fire
She's got a brain people envy
She's got fame people envy
Back when all the teachers loved her
And all the girls wanted to be her
But I just wanted to be seen with her
Now she's just like everybody else
Just another name
We thought she'd do great things
But we all ended up the same
