All Stars

they would say you were destined for greatness

and I could see it in all the faces

how they loved you, they adored you

but you would sing with a pain they never knew

all the madness was never familiar

and their affection was much too peculiar

to sustain you, to protect you

to ever save you from the pain they never knew

all the stars that fill the sky

they burn out before our eyes

all the sadness you carried inside

you never showed it, it was easy to hide

you'd tell your stories in all their sorrow

you'd take the stage like there was no tomorrow
