Lyrics Electra Heart - Buy the Stars

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 dont 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 x2

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 dont 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 x2

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 alone we die
And no matter how hard you try
I’ll always belong in the sky

Chorus

It’s who you are
