and yes, even stars die out someday
and even through the darkness of the shadows that you carry,
you’re the brightest one i know
and i can see you — dying to break the mold  and when you explode
and try to set your fears on fire with the ignition of your desire
but the shadows come cooling in to set you back where you begin

and begin again, but differently
pack up all your belongings and put them where you cannot see
say goodbye and take a step that’s fit for giants
you’ll take your shine leaving only mine and with every wish
i make for you it would extinguish
so if you leave it will be dark
i’ll light a candle for your heart
and from miles away i’ll fight your shadows
while you’re out there fighting someone else’s battle
