The eleventh track on The Open Door, “Your Star” is “the hardest thing [Amy] has ever written”. The song was written in the hotel room in Portugal when Amy was feeling “jet-lagged, weird and tired.”
During the bridge, the background choir sings “Alma surdo, loucura, onde está seu alma? Loucura, to...
[Verse 1]
I can't see your star
I can't see your star
Though I patiently waited, bedside, for the death of today
I can't see your star
The mechanical lights of Lisbon frightened it away

All in parts and pieces, swim lonely, find your own way out

And nothing worth fighting for
We're wandering now
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely
Find your own way out
