I forgot this feeling

I forgot what real meant

Build me up to break me down

Looked into the fire

Found my own desires

Will I ever make it out

Can't be myself around anyone else

I need to escape your deranged little hell

Diamond in the rough, I'm breaking the spell

Maybe one day I will choose for myself

They say that money can buy everything

But loneliness with it just shelters the pain

Will I be okay

Maybe one day I'll be great

How could you forget my name

Counting stars won't take you far

When you can't choose who you are

Maybe one day I'll be great

I won't make your same mistakes

You can't change me, I won't break

I'll tell myself I'll be okay

I'll tell myself I'll be okay

I won't make your same mistakes

Maybe one day I'll be great

I won't let you forget my name

Counting stars won't take you far

When you can't choose who you are

Can't stop chasing everything that doesn't want me

I'm an escapist, and the night sky's my company

Your words abrasive, to invasive, won't let you control me

This isn't a game I'm not just a pawn in one of your stories

Am I crazy

I'm insane

Found myself lost out in space

Maybe I'm the one to blame

No you'll never change

This is my story

Maybe one day I'll be great

I won't let you forget my name

Count those stars, they'll take you far

When you CAN choose who you are

I'll tell myself I'll be okay

I won't make your same mistakes

Maybe one day I'll be great

I won't let you forget my name

Counting stars won't take you far

When you can't choose who you are

You can't change me, I won't break

Tell myself I'll be okay

I won't make your same mistakes

I'll tell myself I'll be okay

I won't make your same mistakes

Maybe one day I'll be great

I won't let you forget my name

Count those stars, they'll take you far

When you CAN choose who you are
