The Darkest Star Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, you sad one
Playing the angel
Isn't so easy where you're from
Oh, you wild one
Devil's companion
You won't stay satisfied for long

[Chorus]
I don't want you to change
Anything you do
I don't want you to be
Someone else for me

[Verse 2]
Oh, you dark one
Eternal outsider
Caught in the spider's web you've spun
Oh, you blind one
Gentle and kind one
Seeing the world as a loaded gun

[Chorus]
I don't want you to change
Anything you do
I don't want you to be
Someone else for me
[Outro]
Stay as you are
The darkest star
Shining for me
Majestically

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
