Don't be so modest
You're not that great
That's what a friend of mine
Once simply said
It took me a while
To find out he's right
You aren't what you seem to be
Not what it seemed to me
You jump around from branch to bough too far
To catch the fruit and leaves off trees
I try to take a glimpse of you out there
It's a distant and such careful view
I hold you in my heart
And I hold on to your stars
I hold you in my hand
And I hold on to my scars
I thought I was able
With you before me
To see beyond shadows
And high chestnut trees
I waited for autumn
The leaves they stayed on
When you started to hide
And you started to fight
And you jump around from branch to bough too far
To catch the fruit and leaves off trees
I try to take a glimpse of you out there
It's a distant and such careful view
I hold you in my heart
And I hold on to your stars
I hold you in my hand
And I hold on to my scars
I hold you in my heart
And I hold on to your stars
I hold you in my hand
And I hold on to my scars
You went away, you went away
It wasn't meant for you to stay
You went away, you went away
Soon it will be yesterday
I hold you in my heart
And I hold on to your stars
I hold you in my hand
And I hold on to my scars
I hold you in my heart
And I hold on to your stars
I hold you in my hand
And I hold on to my scars
