Star

Don't call me a star Call me the comet that flew too far Aimed for the sun and landed on the moon Realized my mistake too soon Cause all stars someday explode Just like our sun when it gets old But who are we to measure It's still shining under all the pressure My mamma always told me I would be somebody brilliant But I'm afraid cause I'm just only one out of a million I wish on every shooting star that my time to shine isn't too far But I feel like I'm faltering If my lungs are not my mind certainly is Plagued with grades Social charades and shit I'm buying time with no dollar in hand But it's about time that I took a stand Don't call me a star Call me the comet that flew too far Aimed for the sun and landed on the moon Realized my mistake too soon Cause all stars someday explode Just like our sun when it gets old But who are we to measure It's still shining under all the pressure I only get one chance to get this right My life is speeding past by the night I'm only seventeen and I'm sick of dreams The ambition to be breaking under the seams The pressure to be perfect makes me sick instead The days I'd rather die feel me with dread If I get my wish Will I make it last Am I a one hit wonder Some solar flare blast People always told me I was gonna be great But if I'm being honest I think I wanna wait Fame sounds nice but like what I lead I don't want my art to get away from me Adult dreams don't fit on a teen Fears are larger than they seem And I know I'm not even that old But I'm growing out of the mold Don't call me a star Call me the comet that flew too far Aimed for the sun and landed on the moon Realized my mistake too soon Cause all stars someday explode Just like our sun when it gets old But who are we to measure It's still shining under all the pressure Gives life to everything around So let's sit and listen to life's beautiful sound
