Star
Neoma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is the way I feel like a star
So oh no baby
Don't try to change me
Baby tell me why you're upset
Maybe you should let me shine
Better tell me how to do this baby
Cause I'm afraid to try
And when the night comes slowly
We fall asleep
Oh no I can't find you in my dream
This is the way I feel like a star
So oh no baby
Don't try to change me
Is this the real life
Is this the real life
Or am I wasting my time
You can talk and I can listen
It'll be just fine
But every word you says a mystery
Oh you are making this hard
And when the night comes slowly
We fall asleep
Oh no I can't find you in my dream
This is the way I feel like a star
So oh no baby
Don't try to change me
Is this the real life
Is this the real life
Or am I wasting my time
The way I feel like a star
So oh no baby
Don't try to change me
Is this the real life
Is this the real life
Or am I just wasting my time
I'm so ambitious baby
Don't let me fall asleep
I want to do everything
But lately I forgot how to breath
I'm so ambitious baby
Don't let me fall asleep
I want to do everything




But lately I forgot
Lately I forgot

So oh no baby
Don't try to stop me from feeling this way


Don't try to change me
Accept me for who I am


Baby tell me why you're upset

I want to do everything
I have numerous interests and passions


But lately I forgot how to breath
I have become overwhelmed and need to take care of myself


Lately I forgot
I have lost sight of my priorities
