Embers Of a Dying Heart

Stars

Who are you if not you

You're not who you think I think you are

You are you, a shining light, a burning star

But then again, what happens to a star

when all its light is burned out

it does not die of old age

There's a gunshot, no slow fade

Don't go out in a gunshot

Grow old by my side

You don't need to be a star

You don't need to be them

You just need to be you

You is enough

So don't become what you think you need to be

I need you to be you, so please don't leave me

Don't wear a mask, or hide that beautiful smile

I need you to be you, let's be us for a while.
