lyrics

STAR

You were sweet and you were young
You just thought it would be fun
And by the way, what did you have to lose?

You were broke and you were stuck
You were bored and out of luck
It made sense, why would you refuse?

It looked easy and it looked hard
It could have dragged or been a blast
Were you ready, were you strong enough?

You are a star now baby!
The centre of attention when the red light's on
The fans, the cash, and just like that your problems gone
Shine like a star now baby!
But these weren't gonna be just some days in paradise
Deep inside I'm sure you knew you'd have to pay the price for being that star

Yeah you have your new-found fame
Under your new sexy name
But in a way, you lost your reputation

And the pain you have to see
Violence, drugs and the diseased
And stalkers and the weirdos ain't just an aggravation

It was the right time to go back
But how will the world accept
Someone with your baggage and your past

You're not a star now baby!
You only get rejections now that the red light's off
The fans, the cash and just like this it was all gone
You shine no light now baby!
Those weren't gonna be just some days in paradise
Deep inside I'm sure you knew you'd have to pay the price for being that star

They made it hard for you to move on, turn the page
I can't imagine how you felt, the sadness and the rage
Those hypocrites they tried to shame you, no one was on your side
Another day another night, more struggles and more fights

You have always been so strong
Whether you were right or wrong
Everyday life happens unrehearsed

Now you have embraced your past
And you live more as yourself
No more shame, no hiding, no more fears

Now you're sharing your whole story
Both the darkside and the glory
Make an impact for you and your peers

You're still a star now baby!
The centre of attention when the mic is on
On the way to find a place where you belong
Shine like a star now baby!
The future might not be just like days in paradise
But deep inside I'm sure you know, you see it's looking bright cos you're a star
