Silver Girl

A fading light in an empty room
An afterthought, a dying bloom
Hurt too many times before
It's hard to keep going, hard to ignore

A heart that's always on the mend
A book with pages torn and bent
A shadow cast by someone else
Tears that fall but leave no trace

A caged bird singing silent strains
Thorns that grow and never end
Forgotten memory, forever spent

Oh, silver girl
You'll never shine bright enough
Oh, silver girl
You'll always be a second thought
Oh, silver girl
You'll never get the golden one
Oh, silver girl
You should stop trying so hard

A painting left out in the rain
Washed out colors, matching grey
Eternally in the second place
Watch me wither, all in vain

The rain on a summer day
A fleeting touch that never stays
A broken heart, an endless fray

Oh, silver girl
You'll never shine bright enough
Oh, silver girl
You'll always be a second thought
Oh, silver girl
You'll never get the golden one
Oh, silver girl
You should stop trying so hard

When you said you wanted me
To be your golden girl
I started crying
You asked me why
I told you it's because

I'm a silver girl
I'll never shine bright enough
I'm a silver girl
I'll always be a second thought
I'm a silver girl
I could never be your golden one
Oh, silver girl
I should stop trying so hard
