My Little Corner of the World

It's not that I'm ungrateful
For my little piece of the pie
Or of my teen-royalty status
That's kept me in the public eye
But sometimes it seems
When they look at me
I'm only seen
As an accessory
Not truly known
And all alone
On my own
In my little corner of the world

Everybody loves her,
Or fears her, which is almost as good
We're just the sideshow, the opening act
We underwhelm, just like we should
It's not all that improbable
That I'm so easily replaceable
Is it so crazy
To think that maybe
When people look at me
They'd be able to see
An individual beauty
Who's stuck in her own little corner of the world

Diva on the stage,
Center of attention
The audience adores her
She loves this little game
Little ballerina,
Looking for some fame
The audience ignores her
And everything's the same

Is it so much to ask
For someone to see though my mask
And see the real me
The one I've always tried to be
But was never in sight
Eclipsed by the light
Of a queen who just might
Be stuck in her own little corner
Of her own little world
