[Intro]:

If I was your superstar

Bet you'd take all the credit

Wouldn't let me get too far

Without you

If I was your superstar

Why'd you leave me so damaged?

Now I don't need your applause

To feel valid

[Verse 1]:

Said I was nothing without you

But you know young hearts ain't too hard to manipulate

You stole my inner child

Was too naive to see the truth

But all I had was your own narrow vision of me

Growing in your selfish hands

Now I hate to disappoint you

But finally I know my value

[Chorus]:

If I was your superstar

Bet you'd take all the credit

Wouldn't let me get too far

Without you

(Without you)

And if I was your superstar

Why'd you leave me so damaged?

And I don't need your applause

To feel valid

[Verse 2]:

You wrapped me in your shadow

[?] fed your ego

But I'm stepping in my own light

(Light)

What could I be if you believed in me

If I took back the power you held over me yeah

(What could I be)

Now I see through all your lies

And I hate to disappoint you

But finally I know my value

[Chorus]:

If I was your superstar

Bet you'd take all the credit

Said I wouldn't get too far

Without you

If I was your superstar

Why'd you leave me so damaged?

Now I don't need your applause

To feel valid

Valid

And if I was your superstar

Why'd you'd take all the credit

(Why'd you take all the credit?)

Said I wouldn't get too far

Without you

(Without you)

I won't be your superstar

You'd leave me too damaged

Now I don't need your applause

(Don't need your applause)

To feel valid

Oh-Oh yeah-Oh
