Niall's Revenge

In the shadows of the spotlight,
Where dreams were built and torn,
A small town boy with big dreams,
Left feeling so forlorn.
Promises were broken,
And trust was left to fade,
A heart once full of hope,
Now burdened by the shade.
Oh, Simon, you played your game,
But I won't be the same,
Revenge was on my mind,
But my heart's not that kind.
I planned the perfect payback,
To make you feel my pain,
But every time I tried,
My soul couldn't sustain.
The anger turned to sorrow,
The hatred turned to tears,
For in this quest for vengeance,
I faced my deepest fears.
Oh, Simon, you played your game,
But I won't be the same,
Revenge was on my mind,
But my heart's not that kind.
In the end, I found my peace,
In letting go of rage,
For life's too short to dwell,
In a never-ending cage.
Oh, Simon, you played your game,
But I won't be the same,
Revenge was on my mind,
But my heart's not that kind.
So I'll rise above the pain,
And let the past remain,
A small town boy with dreams,
Now free from all the chains.
