She sits alone in her dark room
Dreams of songs she'll never bloom
Watching others touch the sky
Talent in their eyes

Green with envy she despairs
Life ain't fair with all she bears
Youthful voices
Melodies bright
Lost in endless night

Jealous hearts can't write a tune
Craving stars while cursing moon
Young and free with talent high
Why she asks with tearful eyes

Chasing shadows
Burning dreams
Trying hard
Or so it seems
Notes and lyrics tangled tight
Nothing sounds just right

She scolds the young with bitter breath
Wishes she could steal their steps
But her heart can't find the beat
Bitter taste of sweet
