You sing beautifully without opening your mouth
I feel that's best
because you can't sing.
I remember watching you on stage
calling out to each and every girl
letting them think they could have you
Knowing that it wasn't you
but your song that they wanted so much
I'm like the moon
I'm beautiful
Some people think I'm made of cheese
Some people believe there's a man in here
But like the moon
I only reflect light
I have none of my own to give
I draw on your energies to light myself up
you do light me up
But I've been living my life as a Star
I've been pretending
for too long now
that I can generate all my own light
That I can burn bright
Warming the faces of people that watch me from afar
but burning those that get too close to my atmosphere
I'm putting this in the most awkward of places
I know it's because I want people to read it
all my life I've only ever wanted to be seen
You saw me
and continue to shine your light on me
Some would argue that I illuminate many things
but I know it's because of you
and because of the people you have around you
They're not my friends
but they're nice to me
I'm pretty sure I annoy them
But because of you
they let me stay
Letting me be me is the sweetest thing you've done
and you did it unselfishly
I can't repay that
The mask I wear of my own choosing
is proving to be harder to take off
than i previously anticipated
but you promised me I could take it off
You reintroduced me to my favorite drug
You brought me music and kisses
and got everyone around you to think that I was special
As long as you'll let me orbit
I'll be your moon
Please don't let me run away
because I've never felt as alive as I do when I'm with you
