Someone Else's Star

Couldn't beat them so you joined them

Wanted freedom and got boredom

They wanted you to stay where you are

Their game had no meaning

You found fame and it was fleeting

You became someone else's star

Now all your memories feel more like films

You put them on to see which ones still kill

You wonder why the bad ones pay the bills

All the time

Every night

You say another prayer

There's a heaven

I'll say it's anywhere you're forgiven all the time

I think it's time

Took a drive with the whole family that you decided

We're so happy but you were silent

Sitting in the back seat of the car

And time passes too slowly

And all at once you're so much older

Making wishes on someone else's star

All the time

Every night

You say another prayer

There's a heaven I'll say it's anywhere you're forgiven

All the time

I think it's time

To let it go

You gotta let it go

Now all your second chances feel like thirds

You wonder what you wanted in the first

Used to feel it all now it just hurts

All the time

Every night

You say another prayer

There's a heaven I say it's anywhere you're forgiven

All the time

It's time

I think it's time
