They dressed me in satin they painted my face
Taught me to mimic her smile and her grace
Walked in her silence drank from her cup
Spoke every word she dared not make up
I learned how to curtsy to lie with my eyes
To dance through the court and never ask why
They called it an honor to die for the throne
But I bore her crown and I died alone
She'll live a queen in halls of gold
While I lie still in soil and cold
No statue stands for girls like me
I was her shadow and shadows don't bleed
I saw the archer the glint in the dark
I turned just enough to take in the spark
One breath one step that was the part
I was born to play with a borrowed heart
Tell my mother I wore it well
The lace the ring the royal shell
Tell her I smiled though it wasnt mine
And I played the part one final time
She'll live a queen in halls of gold
While I lie still in soil and cold
No statue stands for girls like me
I was her shadow and shadows don't bleed
If ever they toast the crown with wine
Spare a drop for the ones who passed
That died where the real queen should have stood
As all good shadows know they should
