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

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 outshine 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
'cause like them, there’s something shining in me

but, when a star goes supernova
oh, what a sight to behold
'cause, at least for a second, a second, a second
that little star felt what it’s like to be known.

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 outshine the rest
maybe then
maybe then
you’ll know I would have made a really good friend

I tried so hard to be there for you
but you don't know I'm there

I tried so hard to make you happy
do you even care?
