It's not even the fact that she left. It's the fact that I gave her everything I had… And somehow, I was still not enough. Stars… You people see everything, abi? Then tell me… Where do good people go when they're tired of being good? [Soft piano melody, atmospheric guitar enters] [Verse 1 – ] I gave you my time when I had nothing to spare Put your dreams on my shoulders, carried them everywhere When the whole world turned its back, I was standing by your side But when I needed your love, you had somewhere else to hide I made excuses for the things you used to do Told myself you were hurting, maybe you needed someone too I swallowed all my questions, kept the tears behind my smile But you were breaking me slowly, little by little, every while Chale, I no understand How the one wey I love fit turn stranger for my hand I was loyal when the road was rough and nobody dey around But the same love I protected be the one wey put me down [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I was too nice Maybe I gave too much Maybe I kept on holding When I should have let you go But tell me, how you go love somebody And still feel alone? [Chorus – ] Dear stars, if you can hear me Tell me why love dey hurt like this I gave my heart, I gave my all Still I was the one wey lose everything Dear stars, please answer me Was I a fool for loving deep? If being good means breaking slowly Then who will come and rescue me? [Background choir – ] Rescue me… rescue me… Dear stars, please answer me… [Verse 2 – ] I remember all the nights I stayed awake for you When your world was falling apart, I helped you make it through You said nobody understood you like I did Now I hear the same sweet words coming from somebody else's lips You lied to my face and looked me in the eye I saw the truth in your silence, still I asked you why And the worst part wasn't even watching you walk away It was knowing I would miss you after all the pain Me na meyɛ dɛn? What did I do wrong? Was my love not enough, or was I holding on too long? I no fit blame myself for every wrong you choose But chale, how I go heal when my heart still dey choose you? [Pre-Chorus – ] Maybe I was too nice Maybe I gave too much Maybe I kept on holding When I should have let you go But tell me, how you go love somebody And still feel alone? [Chorus – Dear stars, if you can hear me Tell me why love dey hurt like this I gave my heart, I gave my all Still I was the one wey lose everything Dear stars, please answer me Was I a fool for loving deep? If being good means breaking slowly Then who will come and rescue me? [Verse 3 – ] And life… Life too, you no dey make am easy Some days I wake up strong, some nights the pain dey squeeze me I had dreams bigger than the buildings in this town But every time I climb, something dey pull me down I worked when nobody saw me I prayed when nobody heard I kept on chasing tomorrow But tomorrow no dey come Friends wey call me brother, some disappear when things get hard People smile inside your face, then go tear you apart I gave my trust to many, now I question every hand Chale, sometimes I wonder if anybody really understand I see my mates moving forward, I dey fight my own battles Bills dey wait for morning, my mind dey full of troubles Mama say make I be strong, but she no see the nights When I sit alone and wonder if my future still dey bright [Bridge – ] Dear stars… I no ask for perfect life I no ask for plenty things I just want a little peace And a reason to keep believing I want to love without fear I want to dream without shame I want to smile from my heart Not hide my tears behind my name [Choir ] Even when the road is long… Even when the hope is gone… Even when my heart is tired… I still dey hold on… [Final Chorus – Dear stars, if you can hear me Tell me say this pain go pass I gave my heart, I gave my all But I believe I still deserve love Dear stars, please answer me I need a little strength to breathe If being good means breaking slowly Then teach me how to choose me [Background choir – ] Choose yourself… choose yourself… You deserve love… you deserve love… [Outro – [Male spoken voice – calmer, emotional] Maybe the stars no go answer tonight… Maybe I just needed somewhere To put all this pain. Tomorrow… I go try again.
