[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
