Stars Don’t Go Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The star
That gives us light
Has been gone a while
But it’s not an illusion
The ache In my heart
Is so much a part of who I am
[Verse 2]
You said free yourself to be yourself
If only you could see yourself
I have seen the dark
And I am waking from that sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Something in your eyes
Took a thousand years to get to here
The hearts are in the skies
Can see our lies becoming clear
[Chorus]
Oh, we know what the stars don’t know
Our light doesn’t come and go
And I know
We’re higher than they can ever go
The star
That gives us light
Has been gone a while
But it’s not an illusion
The ache In my heart
Is so much a part of who I am
[Verse 2]
You said free yourself to be yourself
If only you could see yourself
I have seen the dark
And I am waking from that sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Something in your eyes
Took a thousand years to get to here
The hearts are in the skies
Can see our lies becoming clear
[Chorus]
Oh, we know what the stars don’t know
Our light doesn’t come and go
And I know
We’re higher than they can ever go
[Verse 3]
Once we are born
We begin to forget
The reasons that we came
But I am sure it was you I met
Long before I had to
[Verse 4]
Name myself
To gain myself
I needed you to remain myself
I have seen the dark
And I am waking from that sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Something in your eyes
Took a thousand years to get to here
The hearts are in the skies
Can see our lies becoming clear
[Chorus]
Oh, we know what the stars don’t know
Our light doesn’t come and go
And I know
We’re higher than they can ever go
Once we are born
We begin to forget
The reasons that we came
But I am sure it was you I met
Long before I had to
[Verse 4]
Name myself
To gain myself
I needed you to remain myself
I have seen the dark
And I am waking from that sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Something in your eyes
Took a thousand years to get to here
The hearts are in the skies
Can see our lies becoming clear
[Chorus]
Oh, we know what the stars don’t know
Our light doesn’t come and go
And I know
We’re higher than they can ever go
