Buy the Stars - MARINA

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

And still, you’d like to think you own me

You keep buying stars

And you could buy up all 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
