"Whatever you do comes back at you."


You think it's easy 

What I'm doing now 

Honest ... kind of queasy 

Cuz I'm wondering how 


I don't think you know 

What I'm thinking about 

You buried me deep down

Didn't think I'd find a way out 


But I promised

And here I am

I'll be here for you

And I'll be damned


Cuz


How could you leave me in the dark?

Pushing me back, taking the spark 

That made me 

That made me a shooting star 


What are you doing to me?

Making me diffident and leave 

I made a comeback 

I came back as a shooting star 

I came back as a shooting star

I came back as a shooting

You don't know

what to do right now

You thought you were in charge (but you're not)

So stop pushing me around 


It's really unfair

How your clinging onto me

I guess you're just dependent

And that will always be


Yet I never shrugged you off

And I never pushed you down 

i always put you first 

No matter who's in the crowd


So


How could you leave me in the dark?

Pushing me back, taking the spark 

That made me 

That made me a shooting star 


What are you doing to me?

Making me diffident and leave 

I made a comeback 

I came back as a shooting star 

I came back as a shooting star

I came back as a shooting

The author's comments:

When I wrote this song, my class and I were learning the plot diagram and all the different components. My inspiration for this poem was the climax of a story. The turning point. After learning about the climax, I wanted to write a song about a person who changed their life for the better. A person who had a turning point.
