i used to think that i could do anything i wanted
my mom said i could do and be whoever i wanted
she told me i should follow my dreams and soar
i used to think she was rightbut then something happened
i fell apart
i lost myself
i used to wish all the time
i would wish on the stars
i would dream like no other
i would wish on anything that i possibly couldbut then something happened, and i gave up and no longer cared
i was lost and no one could bring me back to civilization
so now here i am looking up at the stars on this very night
wondering what i'm going to do with myself
