Someone Else's Star

Couldn't beat 'em, so you joined 'em
Wanted freedom and got boredom
They wanted you to stay where you are
Their game had no meaning
You found fame and it was fleeting
You became someone else's star
Now all your memories feel more like films
You put 'em on to see which ones still kill
You wonder why the bad ones paid the bills
All the time
Every night
You say another prayer there's a heaven
I say it's anywhere you're forgiven
All the time
I think it's time
Took a drive with the whole family
That you've decided was so happy
But you were silent sitting in the backseat of the car
And time passes too slowly
Then all at once, you're so much older
Making wishes on someone else's star
All the time
Every night
You say another prayer there's a heaven
I say it's anywhere you're forgiven
All the time
I think it's time to let it go
You've gotta let it go
Now all your second chances feel like thirds
You wonder what you wanted in the first
Used to feel it all, now it just hurts
All the time
Every night
You say another prayer there's a heaven
I say it's anywhere you're forgiven
All the time
It's time
I think it's time to let it go
