The Star You Left Behind - Quasi

Now you are more free
Than you really want to be.
No one holds you in place, 
& you're drifting off in space.
& the stars are all you see-
Far away as they can be.
& the star you left behind
Gets dimmer all the time.
& the problems that you made
Eventually will fade.
& the work that you have done
Seems better when you're gone.
Far away from everything, 
Far away from everywhere; 
No one hears you sing, 
No one knows you care.
