I wanted to tell this story which is happen to someone somewhere right now. Whether they are in a situation of spousal abuse, physical or verbal. They have been cheated on,or can no longer endure staying together with the status quo. The time to make you move is right now starting today.

Lyrics
Verse1:
Oh la da da
Oh sha na na
You were born to be a superstar
wear diamond rings and drive a fancy car
But now your dreams seem so far away
Right before your eyes all your skies have turn grey
You said you gonna leave and make a brand new start
Cause the fire's gone you've got an empty heart
It's getting really hard to face each day
Tell me how much longer can you live this way.
Chorus:
If the love is gone why do you stay
You need to get away starting with today
You gave it all you had anyone could see
Now's the time to live your life and set yourself
free
Verse2"
The love has grown cold like a Polar bear's world
Each night you think about all the ways you've been hurt
He left you all alone on this great big Earth
It's time to change it now
You've got to save yourself worth
