AltRÉgo - Born to be a Star Lyrics

Born to be a star.. born to shine

She dreamed in neon lights, with fire in her eyes
The world was hers to take, beneath the endless skies
But whispers in the dark called her name too soon
A promise wrapped in glitter, a melody out of tune
She reached for the stars, a sky to call her own
But the constellations faded, and she was left alone

They said"Just one more step, you're almost there
The spotlight's yours, just sign right here"

Born to be a star, but the lights burned too bright
They promised her the world, then stole her night
Born to be a star, but the stage turned to chains
A broken melody, lost in the rain

They took her dreams and twisted them tight
A puppet in their hands, no end in sight
The applause turned to silence, the smiles to sneers
A star without a sky, drowning in tears
But in her darkest hour, she saw her truth
A flicker of herself, the remnants of youth

Born to be a star, but the lights burned too bright
They promised her the world, then stole her night
Born to be a star, but the stage turned to chains
A broken melody, lost in the rain

Was it worth the price, the dreams I sold?
A star that never was, a story never told
I traded my soul for a fleeting flame
Now all that's left is the sound of my name
Now all that's left is the sound of my name

She fell too hard, too fast, too deep
A star that couldn't shine, a soul to keep
The needles and the lies, they took their toll
A star extinguished, a lifeless role
Through shattered glass, her reflection fades
A life once golden, now cloaked in shades
The constellations faded, her sky turned to stone
A star without a home, forever alone

Born to be a star, but the lights burned too bright
They promised her the world, then stole her life
Born to be a star, but the stage turned to chains
A broken melody, drowned in the rain

Born to be a star.. but the stars don't shine for the broken
Born to be a star.. but the lights went out..
