I forgot this feeling, I forgot what it really 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 lighter hell (no)
Time, it doesn't know if 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 stretches 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
'Cause I'm chasin' 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 (whoa)
Found myself lost out in space (oh-oh-oh)
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't choose who you are (are, are, 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
Ooh-ooh
Oh-ooh-ooh
Oh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
You can't change me, I won't break (ooh)
Tell myself I'll be okay (ooh)
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't choose who you are (ooh-ooh)
