[Verse 1] 4.2 light years away I was slow to begin but I'm ready to fade I've been alone now for my whole life And I see black while you see white In the dark, I'm burning light for you And that way, you can follow me home [Chorus] I'm like a star I'm burning out fast I try to shine But it's never gonna last Can't you see me just letting you down? With all my friends, I'll make a picture But in the morning I'll be gone [Verse 2] I'm missing you during the days When the morning comes, I can't stay If you saw me now, I wouldn't grant your wish [Chorus] I'm like a star I'm burning out fast I try to shine But it's never gonna last Can't you see me just letting you down? With all my friends, I'll make a picture But in the morning I'll be gone
