GCS Brilliance

I've gotten to the point of how this could happen to me
A girl dressed in success
With a narrow heart only feeling for the stage
I felt for this the first time I saw it
Dear former self,
What's it like to die completely alone?

Before I leave
I'm going to spray paint this town
With empty paint cans
So everyone can know my name
When my name is actually nothing
Compared to yours, to his, to hers
I'm holding my head up high
I'll be something when they're on their way up

If I was brilliant
I would already belong to Grand Central Station
I'm keeping this confidential
So my friends and heart don't ache
It's only a matter of time until I can ask,
"How could this happen to me?"

Before I leave
I'm going to spray paint this town
With empty paint cans
So everyone can know my name
When my name is actually nothing
Compared to yours, to his, to hers
I'm holding my head up high
I'll be something when they're on their way up

I'm holding my head up way high

I hate to break the news so soon
But I'm so completely in love
With the lights, and the performance
Keep me posted on what goes on in that town
Am I better than it yet?
