The song revolves around a relationship that is troubled by distance, but reassures the significant other that they’re always with them in mind, heart, and spirit no matter the distance, using comparisons to celestial bodies and the heavens.
My Love Is Like a Star
Demi Lovato Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Starts to feel like the world's apart
Like I'm going crazy
And you say it's raining in your heart
You're telling me nobody's there
To try and fly
Oh but that's just crazy
'Cause baby I told ya I'm here for good
My love's like a star, yeah
You can't always see me
But you know that I'm always there
When you see one shining
Take it as mine
And remember I'm always near
If you see a comet
Baby I'm on it
Making my way back home
Just follow the glow yeah
It won't be long
Just know that you're not alone
I tried to build the walls
To keep you safe when I'm not around
But as soon as I'm away from you
You say they come tumbling down
But it's not about the time
That we don't get to spend together
It's about how strong our love is
When I'm gone and it feels like forever
My love's like a star yeah
You can't always see me
But you know that I'm always there
When you see one shining
Take it as mine
And remember I'm always near
If you see a comet
Baby I'm on it
Making my way back home
Just follow the glow yeah
It won't be long
Just know that you're not alone
You say that time away makes your heart grow out
But I can stay just to prove you wrong
Oh look at how far we've come
Don't you know
Don't know that you're the one
My love's like a star yeah
You can't always see me
But you know that I'm always there
When you see one shining
Take it as mine
And remember I'm always near
If you see a comet
Baby I'm on it
Making my way back home
Just follow the glow, yeah
It won't be long
Just know that you're not alone
In Demi Lovato's song My Love Is Like a Star, the singer describes the difficulties of a long-distance relationship. The space that separates her from her lover feels like an insurmountable distance, and although she has tried to build walls to keep her partner safe while she's away, they always seem to come tumbling down. The distance makes it feel like they are worlds apart, and as a result, Lovato often feels like she's going crazy. She longs to be with her partner, but she reassures him that no matter how far away she is, she's always there for him.
The chorus of the song compares Lovato's love to a star, which shines even though it can't always be seen. She tells her partner that he may not be able to see her all the time, but she's always there, watching over him. She encourages him to look for a shining star and remember that it's hers. Similarly, if he sees a comet, Lovato promises that she's on it, making her way back home to him. She urges him to follow the glow and reminds him that he's not alone, no matter how far apart they may be.
Overall, My Love Is Like a Star is a comforting love song that reassures listeners that distance can't diminish true love. Lovato sings about the challenges of being apart from the person she loves, but she also makes it clear that no matter how difficult things may be, she's committed to their relationship and will always be there for her partner.
Line by Line Meaning
The space in between us
Starts to feel like the world's apart
Like I'm going crazy
And you say it's raining in your heart
Being apart from each other makes the distance feel unbearable like we're in different worlds. It is an emotional ordeal that leads to anxiety and distress. You indicate that your heart is wet with sorrow because we are not together.
You're telling me nobody's there
To try and fly
Oh but that's just crazy
'Cause baby I told ya I'm here for good
You said that no one is with you to support and motivate you, making it tough to aim high. But don't be ridiculous since I promised you a lifetime commitment, I will always stay and help you soar high.
My love's like a star, yeah
You can't always see me
But you know that I'm always there
When you see one shining
Take it as mine
And remember I'm always near
If you see a comet
Baby I'm on it
Making my way back home
Just follow the glow yeah
It won't be long
Just know that you're not alone
My love for you is constant and never-ending, just like the stars keep glowing non-stop. Although you may not always sense my presence, I am still there. Whenever you notice a comet in the sky, remember, it's me finding my way back to be with you. Finding my way again and again anytime we are not together. Remain hopeful as I will always return for you.
I tried to build the walls
To keep you safe when I'm not around
But as soon as I'm away from you
You say they come tumbling down
I made an attempt to create barriers to protect you while I'm away; hence, you'd still have a sense of security. But, as soon as I'm no longer around, you feel exposed and vulnerable, causing the walls I had built before to collapse.
But it's not about the time
That we don't get to spend together
It's about how strong our love is
When I'm gone and it feels like forever
Our physical distance is nothing compared to the strength of our love. Even when we are apart, our connection remains strong, and our love will keep us together, even in the longest separation.
You say that time away makes your heart grow out
But I can stay just to prove you wrong
Oh look at how far we've come
Don't you know
Don't know that you're the one
You claim that being apart from each other will help your love grow stronger. But, to prove you wrong, I will stay with you, showing you how much your love means to me. We have come a long way, and it's time you realize that you are the one for me.
Just know that you're not alone
Always remember that, regardless of the distance or time spent apart, you are never alone because I am always with you in spirit, and our love will bring us back together.

uma das minhas músicas favoritas da Demi, pena que ela não canta mais, para mim é um hino

Então... Uma música com uma vibe muito boa, vocais impecáveis e uma melodia ótima, sinto saudades dessa era
ancient soul
I would never be tired to come back to this video again once in awhile. Demi sing beautifully and the live band makes the performance really good. That "thank you" also really cute.
