The Tomorrow We Were Promised

I am the song everyone hums but nobody sings.
I used to think people were like stars in the sky, that no matter how far away they were, that they'd brighten your darkest days, they'd always be there. But maybe they're more like candles, they're there to celebrate and you blow them out, eventually, they burn out. I'd like to think people are stars, but really they're candles. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but the thing about candles is that they slowly burn away, and when they burn out there's nothing left. I think I'd like to be a sparkler, short-lived beauty, bringing something dangerous yet exciting into someone's life, maybe you don't get it yet. I think you will soon.
