Intro
Started out invisible, just a shadow in the hall
Nobody saw me, nobody cared at all
But I had a hunger, burning deep inside
Climbing up the ladder, with no regrets at all
Verse
I played their little games, I laughed at all their jokes
Kept my secrets hidden, wore a thousand different cloaks
I watched them from the bottom, envied the ones on the top and copied their every move
Chorus
Now I'm standing in the spotlight, but my hands are stained
Traded all my friendships for a shot at fame
I broke every promise, burned every bridge
Now I'm queen of the mountain
Verse
I told myself it’s worth it, just a sacrifice
But every mirror’s haunted by the ghosts I left behind
They cheered when I arrived, but the cheers don’t last
Haunted by the memories of a shattered past
Chorus
Now I'm standing in the spotlight, but my hands are stained
Traded all my friendships for a shot at fame
I broke every promise, burned every bridge
Now I'm queen of the mountain
Outro
So here’s to the lonely, to the ones who sold their soul
The higher you climb, the colder it gets, and the harder the fall
Was it worth the glory, was it worth the pain?
I’m a legend in the lights, but a loser in my name
