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 buying 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 know me

You keep buying 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 then we die

 And no matter how hard you try

 I’ll always belong in the sky

Break

 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
