FADED STAR

Why must it be
A sad one
Darkness you’ll see
Just like the last one

I wanted
To love you
It faded
What happened
Like a ghost
No witness
Its gone, gone away

Won’t show me how to live, no
Your star has faded
Won’t show me how to think, no
Your star has faded

Lend me a prayer
This last meal
Its in the air
And I can’t breath

You gave me
A secret
It faded
What happened
What you feel
I’ve felt
Its gone
Gone, gone away

My shadow
From the sun
This vision
From above
Lonliness
No love
Here I am
Undone

Won’t show me how to live, no
Your star has faded
Won’t show me how to think, no
Your star has faded

Look up
In the night
Your star has faded

One more
Goodbye
Your star has faded

Lately, I've been doing some thinking,
Trying to work out what went wrong,
Seems to me I’ve been putting up with you for way too long,
So I'm picking up and moving on.
I’m hitting the road,
Out on my own,
Deleting your number from my phone,
Gonna learn to be happy,
Just like I used to be,
Before I let you bring me down,
No more excuses,
Or needing to prove that,
I’m good enough as I am,
I’m taking off, I’ve had enough,
Oh, I’m hitting the road, I’m hitting the road.

I can't believe it took me so long,
Just to see the hold you had on me,
But now it’s like I can breathe,
Nobody to answer to but me,
And that’s how it’s meant to be,
Finally doing’ this, finally free!
I’m hitting the road,
Out on my own,
Deleting your number from my phone,
Gonna learn to be happy,
Just like I used to be,
Before I let you bring me down,
No more excuses,
Or needing to prove that,
I’m good enough as I am,
I’m taking off, I’ve had enough,
Oh, I’m hitting the road, I’m hitting the road.

Only six years old, I already knew,
How my life would be, what I was gonna do,
Had it all worked out, I didn't see a reason why it wouldn't come about,
I dreamed, I hoped, believed,
And everything else in between,
There was nothing in this world stopping me.

Fast forward to my early teens,
I'd given up on the childhood dream,
Sick of trying to fit in at school,
Always being different and never being cool,
I dreamed, I hoped, believed,
And everything else in between,
That I could be six years old again.

When I was everything I wanted to be,
Nothing seemed to be out of reach,
Life was simple and time was on my side.

To the little girl who loved to twirl around the bedroom dancing,
Singing all the words into her hairbrush like the world was watching,
Never lose your spark,
Never lose your smile,
Keep shining bright just like a star,
You're perfect as you are.

Started working at the local store,
A good job, but wanted so much more,
Too big for a small town,
But not knowing how to break down all the doors,
I dreamed, I hoped, believed,
And everything else in between,
That things would change.

Didn't wanna meet mister right,
Didn't need another reason to end up tied,
Won't settle for settling down,
When there’s a whole wide world just waiting to be found,
I dreamed, I hoped, believed,
And everything else in between,
Needed to remember the time.

When I was everything I wanted to be,
Nothing seemed to be out of reach,
Life was simple and time was on my side.

To the little girl who loved to twirl around the bedroom dancing,
Singing all the words into her hairbrush like the world was watching,
Never lose your spark,
Never lose your smile,
Keep shining bright just like a star,
You're perfect as you are, You're perfect as you are.

I know a place just out of town,
Comes to life when the sun goes down,
Where everybody knows your name,
And no two nights are ever the same.

There’s a band playing country blues,
King of the road and blue suede shoes,
Two steppin' on the worn oak floor,
People don’t dance like that no more.

This is where they come to play,
After a long day,
Come and drink the night away.
At the sunset saloon,
We hope ya come back soon.

With a friend or by yourself,
The beer's always cold and the liquor's top shelf,
Smoke twirling under neon lights,
You won't be blue for long on whiskey night.

Shooting pool, hustling from the pros,
Knocking down shots like dominoes,
Leave your money on the table, double or quits,
You don't even know you've lost when the tequila hits.

This is where they come to play,
After a long day,
Come and drink the night away.
At the sunset saloon,
We hope ya come back soon.

This is where they come to play,
After a long day,
Come and drink the night away.
At the sunset saloon,
We hope ya come back soon.
