Why Does She Always Get the Boy?

Echoes of a lost moment, shadows in my mind

Unspoken words, a silent cry, wish I could rewind

I saw you there, with her, I thought you'd be mine

Your smile was bright, like a sunset in my eyes

We were just talking, laughing in the sunshine

But then she arrived, and everything changed in time

Why does she always win? Why does she steal the light?

I’m her twin, her mirror, her shadow in the night

It’s just not fair, I believe we could have soared

But she’s the one you favor, leaving me ignored

Why does she always get the boy? Why does she steal your heart?

I’m just her sister, wishing we weren’t worlds apart

You were supposed to see me, see through all the disguise

But now I’m lost in the silence, hearing all the lies

She’s just sitting there, reading, acting so supreme

Boys see her as charming, caught up in a dream

But we’re alike, we share the same face, same eyes

Yet you looked at her, and I just wonder why

Is it just a game? Or maybe destiny?

I thought I understood, but now I can’t see

You’re drifting away, caught up in the allure

While I stand here, broken, feeling so insecure

Why does she always get the boy? Why does she steal your heart?

I’m just her sister, wishing we weren’t worlds apart

You were supposed to see me, see through all the disguise

But now I’m lost in the silence, hearing all the lies

She never stays, she never stays, why does she always go?

But I’d stay forever, just to let you know

That I’m right here, waiting, under the same sky

Hoping someday, you’ll see the truth, I’ll never lie

So I’ll keep holding on, to what could have been

Hoping someday, love and sisterhood will blend in

Until then, I’ll stand in the rain, tears in my eyes

Wondering why, oh why, you chose her over my surprise
