Hanging On A Star Lyrics

This is a very sad song. It is Nick saying, 'you see i need help, and yet leave me unaided', 'you can hear what i am saying, and yet don't listen', 'why love me, and not love me'. Very sad, and very true. This is one of Nick's most poignant cries for a better human nature amongst us all.
