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 namе?
Counting stars won't take you far
When you can't choose who you arе
Maybe one day, I'll be great
I won't make your same mistakes
And 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
Tell myself I'll be okay
I won't make your same mistakes
Maybe one day, I'll be brave
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 me
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 brave
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!
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
