[Verse 1]
Last night, had a future so bright
Had to cover my eyes, yeah, I really believed it
And today, I woke up all alone
I kept checking my phone, but nobody called it
[Pre-Chorus]
Look in the mirror and I wanna die
I'm getting good at faking confidence
Not really living, I’m just waiting in line
But I can't pay my bills with all my
[Chorus]
Star potential, yeah
I'll keep telling myself I’m special
Star potential
My words mean nothing till I'm successful
Tryna be myself
But way too busy tryna be like everyone else
And their star potential
I'm not different and I'm not special
[Verse 2]
This world really sold me a lie
Got a window of time, now I'm dreading my birthday
So I thought if I cut off my hair
Maybe people would care, guess it doesn't work that way
[Pre-Chorus]
Look in the mirror and I wanna die
I'm getting good at faking confidence
Not really living, I'm just waiting in line
But I can’t pay my bills with all my
[Chorus]
Star potential, yeah
I’ll keep telling myself I'm special
Star potential
My words mean nothing till I’m successful
Tryna be myself
But way too busy tryna be like everyone else
And their star potential
I'm not different and I'm not special
[Post-Chorus]
Da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
[Bridge]
Everybody's saying, "Hurry up and get famous"
But it all comes with pressure, it’s not gonna be painless
Always doing my best, but I'm still fucking aimless
Still fucking aimless, yeah
Everybody's saying, "Hurry up and get famous"
But it all comes with pressure, it's not gonna be painless
I'm always doing my best, but I'm still fucking aimless
Still fucking aimless
[Chorus]
I've just got my star potential, yeah
I'll keep telling myself I'm special
Star potential
My words mean nothing till I'm successful
Tryna be myself
But way too busy tryna be like everyone else
And their star potential
I'm not different and I'm not special
I'm not different and I'm not special
I'm not different and I'm not special

I wrote ‘Star Potential’ over Zoom with my dear friend Lauren Aquilina from my home in lockdown at the beginning of 2021. I was explaining to her how I felt like I wasn’t good enough for the music industry. I had people around me telling me I had all the potential to be something, but opportunities...
