lyrics

I’ve been trying to be on my own
I’ve been fighting all my life
just to walk alone
And now that I’m on my own
I’m so terrified just to look at myself
to look at myself in the mirror
and see all that shit that I’ve been avoiding

how can I go on?

Just one step
one foot in front of the other
I keep on telling myself
that this is exactly what I wanted
I’m so scared
I’m so afraid
of falling
flat on my face

How, how, does one do it?
How?

All I know is that I’ll keep on going
writing song after song
tellin’ my own truth

Because I know for sure
that the sun will come up
it does every morning
even if I am mourning
and I know for sure that the sun will go down
in the evening time

yeah I know the stars, the stars
they’ll keep on shinin’
and that’s why I know
that I’m not alone
no, I’m really not alone
Ive got these little twinkly things
that will always be there
no there not going anywhere
no there not going anywhere
and I know that one day
I’ll be one of those stars
