Story Behind The Song
fight with my boyfriend, just before going on my first tour as a singer songwriter.
Song Description
Perfect song for tv or film with a scene about a girl who has dreams of being in the spotlight on stage, but her boyfriend lashes out and accuses her of how fame is gonna go to her head and how she's gonna cheat on him.
And she replies: Don't Compare My Heart to Movie Stars... don't measure my love up to anyone else. Don't compare my heart to those who've lost sight of what it really means to love.

Lyrics
Well you say that I will leave you
when I make it in this world
but I know our love is strong
You insist that it?ll go to my head
and change the way I feel
but I know who I am
Chorus
Don?t compare my heart to movie stars
Don?t measure my love up to anyone else
Don?t compare my heart with those who lose sight
of what it really means to love.
You swear that I in no way
can predict the things to come
but I know you?re what I want
The thing that you don?t seem to see
you?re in every breath I breath
you?re why I am who I am
You say I?ll throw our love away
when I make it in this world
but I thought our love was strong
Temptations will be too strong
you say that I?ll give in
but I?m not as weak as that
