If Only

I feel as though I am a star whose light is burning out,
I was once filled with so much hope,but now only filled with doubt,
I have so much potential so much skill,
But no one will let me show it,and I have a feeling no one will,
When will it be my time to shine?
Tell me please lord when will victory be mine?
There is someone I want to be, but I can't let her out,
Ooh I want to run around like a mad woman and scream and shout!
I could be more famous than a star
If I could I would show you, I can go so far!
The question is... Could you really care
Do you even know how to really be there?
If only you could see how great I really am 
Oh i know for a fact you'd be my biggest fan
You would give me all your love and never let me go
I wouldn't have to ask if you love because I'd simply know.
