Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Oh, why can't that be me? Sitting there in your spotlight, can’t you see? [Verse 1] I watch from the shadows, in the corners of the room, Feeling like a ghost, as you brighten up the gloom. You laugh—bright like sunshine, while I'm just a storm, Wondering what’s wrong, why I’m not the one who’s warm. [Pre-Chorus] Every compliment you get, every cheer they shout, Makes me scream inside, feeling left out. I know I got talent, I got passion and fire, But here I am, stuck in a shadow, alone in desire. [Chorus] Why can't that be me, up on the stage, Living my dreams, breaking free from this cage? Why that girl, with that effortless grace? I swear I’m better, I’ll take my place! [Verse 2] Every time I try, I feel a little smaller, You wear your confidence like a badge, I'm the caller. You shine with ease; I struggle with every line, But deep down, I know that this light could also be mine. [Pre-Chorus] I practice in silence; I battle the doubt, But when it comes to moments, you turn the lights out. I’ll rise from the ashes, I swear—can’t you see? I’m breaking these chains, I’m finally free! [Chorus] Why can't that be me, up on the stage, Living my dreams, breaking free from this cage? Why that girl, with that effortless grace? I swear I’m better, I’m taking my place! [Bridge] It's a war in my mind, a fight I can't win, But I’ll turn this envy into passion within. With every tear shed, I’m learning to grow, I’ll stake my claim, and I’ll put on a show. [Chorus] Why can't that be me? You'll see me one day, I’ll blaze with my light, and I’ll pave my own way. Not bitter, just stronger, rising from the fray, I’m taking my future, come what may! [Outro] So why can't that be me? Just wait and believe, I’m here to take over, I’m ready to weave. No more jealousy, I’ll conquer with flair, This is my moment, my time to declare!
