When I Was a Star

Song Length 3:14 Genre Pop - Rock

Lyrics

we made this thing move just as far as we could
when nobody thought it would work
I gladly took everything you had to give
can?t blame you for letting me go

if you bring the vodka then I?ll bring the punch
the show starts again and it?s never enough
and everyone laughs ?cause it just gets too hard
they remember when I was a star

everyone wants you as much as I did
the first time I stood in your glow
soon you?ll turn into the one they adore
don?t be afraid of it now

it feels like betrayal to end up on your own
you?re stung by the things you wanted so much
and most of us know ?cause we still have the scars
love only takes you so far
you?re alone, wherever you are

you take on the crowd ?cause you have to
you go out and hope for the best
sometimes you get what you need from them
sometimes you fill in the rest

it helps to pretend that this world never ends
but it does, and we all fall apart
never thought to look out that far
long ago, when I was a star
