Lyrics
So many stars in the sky
Which one is mine,
which one is mine?
Too many dreams have gone by
but I've tried,
Lord knows I've tried
Ooh destiny,
what have you done,
what have you done?
I had always thought
I'd be the one to shine . . .
Life should be easy with me
because I love you
but you can see
my bitter side
reflecting on you
Victim of all the critique
I will suffer what they speak
They fan the flames
that cause my pain
And my angry heart
is bleeding inside
I'm dying inside
Lost in silent tears
I raise my eyes to the heavens . . .
I see a falling star
a blaze of glory
then the light goes out
end of the story
end of the story
end of the story
of the falling star!
