You bought a star in the sky tonight Because your life is dark and it needs some light You named it after me, but I’m not yours to keep Because you’ll never see, that the stars are free
Oh we don’t own our heavens now We only own our hell And if you don’t know that by now Then you don’t know me that well
All my life I’ve been so lonely All in the name of being holy Still, you’d like to think you know me You keep buyin’ stars And you could buy up all of the stars, But it wouldn’t change who you are You’re still living life in the dark It’s just who you are It’s just who you are
You bought a star in the sky tonight And in your man-made dark The light inside you died
Oh we don’t own our heavens now We only own our hell And if you don’t know that by now Then you don’t know me that well
All my life I’ve been so lonely All in the name of being holy Still, you’d like to think you own me You keep buyin’ stars And you could buy up all of the stars, But it wouldn’t change who you are You’re still living life in the dark It’s just who you are It’s just who you are
You know only how to own me You know only how to own me
You’re buying stars to shut out the light We come alone and alone we die And no matter how hard you try I’ll always belong in the sky
And you could buy up all of the stars, But it wouldn’t change who you are. You’re still living life in the dark It’s just who you are It’s just who you are It’s who you are It’s who you are It’s who you are It’s who you are It’s who you are It’s who you are It’s who you are It’s who you are
