The shinning light, it’s what you’ve become.
The glistening, sparkling light that only shows me who you really are.
You’re the fame, the fortune, the used to be lover boy.
The one who ran away from his fears,
The one who used me to keep the monsters away.
The one who promised me to never change.
But now, I’ve been forgotten and you’ve become the hero.
You’re chasing away the monsters you’ve never tried to face.
You’re the one following your dreams, as I sit and watch.
You’re the one who broke your promise.
Fame trips, it’s the ego boost you always wanted.
Well, you’ve got it. Your name is known.
Far and wide, you have adoring fans.
But is that really what you want?
Did you really expect your dream to turn to this?
Missing your family, missing your friends..
Missing out on life, on love, on happiness?
What happened to the lover boy?
What happened to the fear of finding out what can break a heart?
What happened to the promises we swore we’d never break?
I’ll tell you.
That boy left, and took with him the sun.
The stars. The moon. The glow.
That boy ran, and stole the spotlight,
For what? For what I cannot say.
But that boy left, and that boy missed out.
That boy’s going far,
But not in the direction we all had planned.
That boy is gone,
That boy is in fames light, soaking it up,
But little does that boy know, his light is burning out.
