Look at him
His friend has the spotlight
But he has the blue
That everyone else have

Looking at all of them
He envies each one
Though he is the same
He lacks one thing, fun

He wants to be like his friend
Lying at night doing nothing at all
He thinks of what to do
To catch up, he thinks that he needs to

Can someone catch his heart?
It's falling and
There's no way for it to
Climb back up

He cries in his room
As he falls deeper
Looking above him
His friend seems farther

He holds out his withered hand
And smiles to his old friend
Can you tell me why
I can never fly that high?

Tired of what is happening
He tries to get back up
On his knees he tries to flee
From the shadows of his thoughts

Oh look, the spotlight's changed
The spotlight which was once blue
He puts on a smile
And stands next to you

I'm finally beside you
Now I can smile with ease
Without worrying about the shadows
That cut my skin deep
