A Lone Star

Do the stars get lonely
Do they ever lose their will to try
What makes a star go supernova
And blow itself out of the sky

A desperate play for attention
A way to say hey
Here I stay
I am me

'Cause there's nothing
Sadder... sadder... sadder...
Than beautiful things left unseen

[Chorus]
But... you don't know me
But... soon you'll see
That the biggest stars aren't always the brightest
They're only closer and easy to see
But... I'll do my best
I'll out shine the rest
Maybe then, maybe then
You'll know I would have made a really good friend

I look to the stars for direction
Their brilliance, it bleeds
Through the frozen night sea

I see them and see my reflection (this light now)
There's something shining in me

But when a star goes supernova
Oh what a sight to behold
At least for a second... a second... a second
That little star felt what it's like to be known

[Chorus]
But... you don't know me
But... soon you'll see
That the biggest stars aren't always the brightest
They're only closer and easy to see
But... I'll do my best
I'll out shine the rest
Maybe then, maybe then
You'll know I would have made a really good friend

[Chorus]
But... you don't know me
But... soon you'll see
That the biggest stars aren't always the brightest
They're only closer and easy to see
But... I'll do my best
I'll out shine the rest
Maybe then, maybe then
You'll know I would have made a really good friend

[Chorus]
(I tried so hard...)
But... you don't know me
But... soon you'll see
That the biggest stars aren't always the brightest
They're only closer and easy to see
But... I'll do my best
(I tried so hard...)
I'll out shine the rest
Maybe then, maybe then
You'll know I would have made a really good friend

[Chorus]
(I tried so hard...)
But... you don't know me
But... soon you'll see
That the biggest stars aren't always the brightest
They're only closer and easy to see
But... I'll do my best
(I tried so hard...)
I'll out shine the rest
Maybe then, maybe then
You'll know I would have made a really good friend
