Fireflies
You said the world could be mine if only I dared
I wept when you left, but you never cared
If I am more than the sum of my surroundings
Why can’t you save me from drowning?
I did the impossible so I could be stronger than
Who I was, who I am, who I’ll never be again
You told me you’d wait, give me the stars in the sky
But you always knew they were just fireflies
