AND NOW, IT'S ALL OVER NOW THE SPARKLE IS GONE, SEE ME SHIMMER ON
I'mma tell you how it began, Just so you understand, This ain't at all what I had wanted, And it's not what I had planned And when I make demands, Your attention I expect, All I wanted was respect, But I just couldn't connect with the one
Who said she'd give me, Everything I ever wanted, Imagine seeing all your dreams, Waved and being flaunted, Right In front of your face, And now you're called a disgrace, I chase her down to, Get the crown and take, Control of this place
This ain't my home, I'm cold, Broken alone, No one Really knows who I am, But I can't start to show who I've Grown into, something new, I slowly realize I'm becoming a monster, And now I fantasize about
Getting her back, I track her down, and it's whack, I'mma find that newbie's head, smack it down till it cracks, Man, I swear I'll take it back, Take the life that was mine, See me shimmer, see me shine, But you're running out of time.
AND NOW, IT'S ALL OVER NOW THE SPARKLE IS GONE, SEE ME SHIMMER ON
Now it seems your ears are open, now you'll look my way You send your precious protege to come and save the day You never tried to listen to a word I had to say, So forget it, it's over, never gonna see me sway
I stand firm on the ground, no sound from me complainin, I'm the King of the storms, no one escapes my reigning, You're washed up, your friends are all ashamed, Cuz your magic ain't nothin next what I'm conjuring today
Who woulda thought, you'd be caught, you'd be brought, To your knees, now get shot, thanks a lot, Cuz I fought for every thing that I got, Here you are, thinking you can instantaneously Take it right on the spot?
I'mma teach a lesson that you'll wish you could forget, You're gonna wish that you never been the teacher's pet, I gave up all my friends, just to see how far I'd get They say it's lonely at the top, I don't miss them yet.
AND NOW, IT'S ALL OVER NOW THE SPARKLE IS GONE, SEE ME SHIMMER ON
Anything you can do, I can do better. Anything you can do, I can do better. Anything you can do, I can do better. Anything you can do, I can do better.
AND NOW, IT'S ALL OVER NOW THE SPARKLE IS GONE, SEE ME SHIMMER ON
Now the battle is done, almost thought that I won Hard fought, dragged out, and it was 6 against one, And now you say we can change, But you know what's really strange? Before this happened, no one ever even cared about my name.
Yeah, you keep your friends, till the end, Let 'em drag you down, Let them all bow to the beautiful crown That really should have been mine, Nah, things will never change You stole away my life, and I will never be the same.
