Life Is Too Short

You're scared to erase
All the things you couldn't be
And now you're trapped in your stardust
Your stardust galaxy
In this world you are afraid
To be anything
Trapped within your stardust galaxy
Trying to believe
"Chorus"
Life is too short for you
To hold on to the past
Life is too short for you
To make it last
You've got to learn to move on
And live for tomorrow
And stop your
Troublesome attitude
It's what you got to do


You're lost in the sky
You're lost in your minds eye
Now you're trapped in your stardust
Your stardust galaxy
You awake to the darkness
Blinded by your dreams
Holding on to a moment
You slip away it seems
"Chorus"
Life is too short for you
To hold on to the past
Life is too short for you
To make it last
You've got to learn to move on
And live for tomorrow
And stop your
Troublesome attitude
It's what you got to do
What you got to do
"Bridge"
Imagination never seemed alright
But now it's all that you have
Trapped in a moment
So long past
It's amazing you're still here
"Chorus"
Life is too short for you
To hold on to the past
Life is too short for you
To make it last
You've got to learn to move on
And live for tomorrow
And stop your
Troublesome attitude
It's what you got to do

Stop living in the distance yesterday
And learn to live for today
Before you slip away

Really good!not much more to say.......I like it!

Gotta move on. Good advice. life is too short to hold on to the past. Stardust galaxy. Put all these sentimental guidelines together and it SPELLS WINNER...Nice job....Thanks for the nice flowing wisdom that needs to be heeded by hearts old and new. AW

Thanks Doug and Andrew w, for the comments I greatly appreciate them. Andrew w: I agree with you too many people including myself hold on to the past, living everyday remembering all the things they couldn't do, or all the things they could do but no longer can. From my observations I can see that we often create this fantasy where we believe we were something greater than we actually were and in the present we still feel we are that same person, the opposite can be said as well. This hints to the stardust galaxy a fantasy land that can only exist in our minds.

I like the reflection. Life is short during good times. It is long during bad times.

The first two lines are well-written ("You're scared to erase/All the things you couldn't be"). The chorus should be rewritten as it is cliched.
