She's leaving home, running away Traveling farther into the night Searching for a superficial paradise Alone she walks the empty streets Determined to see her name in lights Left a broken heart so far behind Can't let you off my mind Can't let you go This time Can't let you go Day by day, lost in confusion The emptiness I feel inside For the rising star I was the sacrifice I need to have her back Where she belongs Somehow I got to let her know Can't let you go This time I've got to make you mine Can't let you go It's a lonely road to fame and fortune Rising star I burn for you
