Penelope Featherington Lyrics ǀ Abigail Barlow & Emily Bear
Never as thin
Never as perfect
Never for him
Never deserving of the boy I love
Never the star
Always the asteroid
Delicate heart
Forever the last choice of
The one I want
So I keep it all in
It’s like I’m invisible in my own skin
Give up on the fictional fairytale end
You’re not Cinderella, you’re just
Penelope Featherington
Ahhh, ahhh
Never as prim
Never as proper
Never a whim
Never an offer from a Bridgerton
And Colin will never see
Behind the yellow that covers me
Just an afterthought
So I keep it all in
It’s like I’m invisible in my own skin
Give up on the fictional fairytale end
Forever in yellow
You’re just Penelope Featherington
He would hold my hand
He’d be more than just a friend
If only just someone else would just understand
He’d be like my prince
Steal me with a kiss
But that’s not real life
Never dressed in white
Cuz I’m never as thin
Never as perfect
Never for him
Never deserving of the boy I love
Never the star
Always the asteroid
Delicate heart
Forever the last choice of
The one I want
So I keep it all in
It’s like I’m invisible in my own skin
Give up on the fictional fairytale end
You’re not Cinderella, you’re just
Penelope Featherington

It's interesting that her nickname is Pen, exactly what she need to use to Wright a certain Wisteldown paper (my bad idk how to write it) .

[@naomitaylor4248]

Or that instead of a pen they would use a quill made of a Feather

[@hannahdumbleton7228]

you genius - when you write something you 'pen' it!

[@britkein3779]

Whistledown is her "pen" name

[@vamplizzard]

Maybe, they put yellow on her to show her lack of confidence and courage? Yellow is commonly shown to be a gender-neutral colour that parents choose before a child is born. Maybe it symbolises how forgotten and left behind she is by her peers and that she's more seen as a child than a woman? Idk, I'm reaching and running on fumes. Edit: Never mind, I just found the storie of Clytie. Basically, she was a nymph that loved Apollo. At first, he loved her, then he fell for another girl. Clytie growing jealous of his affection for her, tells the girl's father who buries his daughter. 66 Apollo gets mad at her and turns her into a sunflower. Even as a sunflower she still loves him and follows the sun he pulls around.

[@fountainofheaven3547]

In the books it says her mother made her wear yellow because its supposed to symbolise happiness and make her look like a happy girl and men would be attracted to and notice her.

[@vamplizzard]

@@fountainofheaven3547 damn, so she be depressed

[@millielamagnifique2980]

@@fountainofheaven3547 no, her mother was wrong, yellow isnt really her colour, she wouldve been better in some sort of red or green, I always got so angry, like, JUST LET HER WEAR A COLOUR THAT WILL SUIT HER AND COMPLEMENT HER HAIR

[@scarlet5420]

I’ve read the first two books and lady whistle down (Penelope) literally comment on how bad the colour the dress is for her complexion but her mother never takes the hint. I can’t wait for her to wear green

[@camilaterrazas2321]

Oh! Just like Peggy Schuyler it makes sense

[@diledile89]

All of us as being a Penelope once in their life I feel her so much

[@karma4326]

I don't know why, but I can feel the pain, maybe because that's the pain that I feel everyday, being the last choice and being over looked, not being good enough and being overweight, in the song where she sings "never the star always the stroid" I feel that because it refuses to her being fatter and uglier then the others, and that describes me perfectly

[@esthermoody4719]

I know what that feels like and I know these words are hard to say to ourselves, but you’re worth so much more than you know. There’s a quote I used to have on my wall which said “your value doesn’t decrease based on someone’s inability to see your worth”. And I just in this instance while writing this, realised that that person could even be ourselves. Keep living because there is so much beauty to be seen, in and around you💛

[@conyy.]

I swear that when I read Pen's book before watching the series I cried because I came to identify with her. His way of thinking or being, is really beautiful with eloise You literally expressed my emotions and thoughts with words :(

[@clavgirl]

Hang in there. More than us than you realize feel or have felt this same way. Your worth is beyond diamonds 💎 You have more power in your life than you realize.

[@the_internet_has_ruined_me]

Well stars are just giant flaming balls of gas, whereas asteroids have lots of cool shit inside them and are probably the reason we have water and gold on earth so really, who's cooler?

[@sruthivs3967]

I know right I just wish things get better for her and she's honestly gorgeous even despite her citrus clothing I find her very magnificent and I'm not saying that to be polite but I still do hope that they would change the citrus clothing cos idk it makes me kinda sad she's wearing it despite not liking it and (SPOILERS )Colin better stop sending her mixed signals it's honestly annoying qnd it's also kinda annoying how Eloise didn't even try to understand Penelope but it's also kinda understandable

[@zarriahharris8970]

I can't believe this is Emily singing

[@Quinoa_316]

Her voice is so amazing

[@danyyy4203]

REALLY?? OMG WTH

[@anneosmon4995]

In the interlude at around 1:27, I could totally see a longer scene playing out there: sneaky and quiet, watching her kind of busy herself around stage, setting up some plan that we'll watch come to fruition later in the show. So good!

[@zaddy131]

i’m obsessed with how she says COLin

[@Ahsokatano5540]

Sameee glad I’m not the only one 😂

[@paperbag791]

I'm reading her book and this song is such a blessing rn 🥺💖

[@bethanychatman9531]

Amazing. So perfectly worded for her character.

[@Av-tw3hp]

I relate to this song, and Penelope as a character. I have had a huge crush on one of my guy besties, and he is so well liked, and is quite a few peoples crushes. He recently had a mutual breakup with his ABSOLUTELY gorgeous, thin, kind girlfriend and is single. My friends say I should try something, but as the song states, “Forever the last choice of the one I want” 🤷🏼‍♀️ Don’t know why I rambled on. Just wanted to share my connection with the song

[@rinas1931]

Hang it there, girl!

[@Kamii269]

Did anything ever happen between you both?

This my favourite song from the whole musical thing

[@viancejumaday1215]

Feather pen . Penelope featherington .... wow mind blown She was the unknown author...

[@millybulter2959]

Even you are not Cinderella, you’re still my dear Penelope Featherington.

[@trishmontesclaros6541]

I love in song but it makes me feel sad

[@miriamneves7913]

i mean same

[@Sweetiegrrl2346]

I never let myself cry, and this song just had me bawling in my bed at 2am. It’s such a specific kind of pain that you have to live through to understand. And she sings it with such emotion- not just sadness and longing, but an anger and disappointment directed more at herself than at others, for being who she is and still daring to hope. Then to take all that pain and ugliness and have it contrasted with her angelic voice and melody… ugh, it’s just too much. Just perfect.

[@fennex2706]

I just realised how if this was from someone else’s perspective it would be a really cool “bully” song, where someone is really driving it home that no one loves Penelope, that she’s always the second choice

[@katherineleigh9306]

Its polin season and this song hurts my heart for Penelope 😭🐝

I wish that at the end of the song they changed "You're just Penelope Featherington" to, _I'm_ just Penelope Featherington.

[@ninafleming336]

It would have been cool if she'd put something in there about an overripe citrus fruit, to hint at the Lady W stuff.
