City lights bleeding into the night
Dreams dressed up in pink and white
Crowds screaming names like prayers in the dark
While lonely hearts hide behind the spark
Ai smiled brighter than the neon glow
A perfect idol no one could know
Every “I love you” painted with grace
While secret tears fell out of place
⸻
The stage keeps turning, the cameras roll
But fame takes pieces from your soul
Behind the glitter, behind the shine
A fragile heart learns how to lie
⸻
Stars don’t cry where the whole world sees
They shine through pain so beautifully
Every smile hiding tragedy
Still they dance like they’re finally free
Aqua walking through the flame
Searching shadows behind the fame
Ruby chasing the light above
Holding tight to forgotten love
⸻
Flashbulbs burst like shooting stars
Turning wounds into works of art
Every role another mask to wear
Every spotlight strips you bare
Akane drowning in online rain
Kana laughing to hide the pain
Memcho smiling through passing years
Everyone hiding silent fears
Entertainment’s a golden cage
Pretty lights on a broken stage
But even then they still stand tall
Giving everything despite it all
⸻
Every song and every scene
Carries ghosts behind the screen
Still they reach for brighter skies
Even built from beautiful lies
⸻
Stars don’t cry where the whole world sees
They shine through pain so beautifully
Every smile hiding tragedy
Still they dance like they’re finally free
Aqua walking through the flame
Searching shadows behind the fame
Ruby chasing the light above
Holding tight to forgotten love
⸻
One truth buried underneath
A revenge carried in silent grief
But the deeper the darkness grows
The more the hidden starlight shows
Because even broken constellations glow
Even shattered hearts still grow
And somewhere past the cameras’ light
A real soul waits beyond the night
⸻
Stars still shine when the curtains fall
When nobody’s left to call
And maybe love was always true
Even hidden between what idols do
So sing your heart into the sky
Even if the world believes the lie
Because the brightest stars you see
Burn through pain endlessly
