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 (No) 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 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 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, too 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
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!
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
