Like a Star - Mike Krol

I was slow to being but I’m ready to fade

I’ve been alone now for my whole life

And I see black while you see white

In the dark, I’m burning light for you

And that way, you can follow me home

I’m like a star

I’m burning out fast

I try to shine

But it’s never gonna last

Can’t you see you’re just letting me down

With all my friends, I’ll make a big joke

But in the morning I’ll be gone

I’m missing you during the days

When the morning comes, I can’t stay

If you saw me now, I wouldn’t grant your wish

I’m like a star

I’m burning out fast

I try to shine

But it’s never gonna last

Can’t you see you’re just letting me down

With all my friends, I’ll make a big joke

But in the morning I’ll be gone
