In my sister's shadow

She gets the attention She gets love She gets rewards She gets to be happy She gets to party

Because she behaves She is nice She can't fail She does it all right

And me I'm in her shadow

She's an angel with big wings And I I can't crawl around them My wing are broken Beaten Cut And stained with tears

But people don't see They don't care She is in the light And she casts a shadow on me

I don't want your pity I don't want your help I can care for myself Like I have always done

I'm sad I'm dark Her wings stop the light from reaching me

I try to do better But I can't defeat the shadows You can't save me Because i'll alway be In my sisters shadow
