A Star
The only thing between you and me is this line as clear as glass
And when I look into the mirror, all I can see is the past
I told myself I wouldn't trade a thing, except for everything I was
But as it turned out, I gave it all away and more, just because
To build me up, I broke you down, buried your bones deep in the ground
A foundation built on dreams and hopes and blood
But when the sun set at the end of the day, there were parts of you I couldn't wash away
My own eyes looking back from on above
A thousand coats of paint can't change the dirt that lies beneath
My nails are black from digging up the earth that lies beneath my feet
When you make a deal and sell your soul, you can't just change the terms
Or you'll meet yourself at the end of the road and watch as it all burns
I built this life and I made this bed and now it's time to lay my head
It doesn't matter if I never fall asleep
When the sun set at the end of the day, there were parts of you I couldn't wash away
And I know that you're just waiting for your turn
I put everything on the line in the hope for just one wish
But I'm never gonna get what I want if I go on like this
