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
