The year began with such dreams and ambitions
Such jubilation with hopes of better days to come
But halfway through the year its all just an echo
And a fire once bright burnt to ashes so long ago

Another summer which appears so full, yet is so empty
For all the parties cant kill the lonely
Center of attention, spotlight girl
So many envy to have her world

If they only knew she'd trade it all to be the simple girl next door
Who has the one special boy to adore
No drama, no lies, no games, no insecurity
Just honesty, trust, stability

Raindrops hit her window on this cold summer night
She thinks how ironic isn't summer supposed to be hot and bright
But there's no stars twinkling in the sky
Just clouds reflecting her emotional state as she sigh

But this is just a moment of weakness
For tomorrow the sun will shine, she'd paste a smile and perform at her best
For deep down she knows there's something in store
Better days will come and stars will outshine those shadows

The year will end and she'll wish upon a star again
All she needs is faith, maybe next year will be less to lose but all to gain
Someday she'd be the simple girl next door with a fire shining bright
And she'd have a boy to adore, no games, no lies, just a love that will keep that fire light
