lyrics

When they see you smile, but it’s been a while
Since you felt anything
Caught up in denial, the downward spiral
That brings you to your knees

You feel the desperation
But all I’m sayin’

You, gave me something to say, when I had no thoughts of my own
A story to tell, from tales so close to home
Life can be hard, come as you are
You’re the star of your own show
When you close your eyes, they turn up the lights
You’re the star of your own show

You act out your lies, those old used up lines
Stories never change
It’s just a disguise, the pictures can’t hide
The sadness in your eyes

You feel the desperation
But all I’m sayin’

You, gave me something to say, when I had no thoughts of my own
A story to tell, from tales so close to home
Life can be hard, come as you are
You’re the star of your own show
When you close your eyes, they turn up the lights
You’re the star of your own show

You’re the star of your own show

You, gave me something to say
You, a story to tell, from tales so close to home
Life can be hard, come as you are
You’re the star of your own show
When you close your eyes, they turn up the lights
You’re the star of your own show

You’re the star of your own show
You’re the star of your own show
