Buy The Stars Lyrics

You bought a star
In the sky tonight
Because your life is dark
And it needs some light

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e83410-marina~buy_the_stars_lyrics.html ]
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
No, we only own our hell
And if you don't know that I 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
Keep buying stars

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 bought a star
In the sky tonight
And in your man-made dark
The light inside you die

Oh we don't own our heavens
No, we only own our hell
And if you don't know that by know
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 like to think you own me
Keep buying stars

And you could buy up all the stars
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

Yeah, 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

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

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
