The Star You Left Behind - Quasi

Now you are more free

Than you really want to be

No one holds you in place

& you’re drifting off in space

& the stars are all you see-

Far away as they can be

& the star you left behind

Gets dimmer all the time

& the problems that you made

Eventually will fade

& the work that you have done

Seems better when you’re gone

Far away from everything

Far away from everywhere;

No one hears you sing

No one knows you care
