Intro:
Lalala, lalalala, lalala
(Stars can’t shine without darkness)
Lalala, lalalala, lalala
(Light needs shadow just to exist)
Verse 1:
Lost in the night where the shadows creep
Fighting my demons when I should be asleep
But silence is loud and the dark always speaks
I find myself stronger each time that I'm weak
The world tries to break me, to push me away
But pressure makes diamonds and night turns to day
Bruised by the battles, still breathing somehow
I carry my scars like a crown on my brow
Pre-Chorus:
Cause I learned from the pain, found truth in the scars
No light ever grows without facing the dark
Chorus:
Stars can’t shine without darkness
(Lalala, lalalala, lalala)
Light doesn’t grow where it’s flawless
(Lalala, lalalala, lalala)
Out of the ashes I rise and I burn
Through all of the chaos, there’s something I learned
Stars can’t shine without darkness
(So I’ll keep shining through)
Verse 2:
I’ve walked through the fire, danced in the rain
Lost everything once just to find it again
The shadows, they follow but can’t hold me down
Cause stars find their brightness when lost to be found
I wear my mistakes like armor of gold
The darkness embraced me and left me bold
Every night teaches a lesson in pain
But nothing is wasted, there’s beauty in rain
Pre-Chorus:
Cause I learned from the pain, found truth in the scars
No light ever grows without facing the dark
Chorus:
Stars can’t shine without darkness
(Lalala, lalalala, lalala)
Light doesn’t grow where it’s flawless
(Lalala, lalalala, lalala)
Out of the ashes I rise and I burn
Through all of the chaos, there’s something I learned
Stars can’t shine without darkness
(So I’ll keep shining through)
Breakdown (Long “Ohhhh” and “Ahhhh”):
(Soft, building to powerful)
Ohhhhhhhhhh… (Drawn out, ethereal)
Ahhhhhhhhhh… (Haunting, layered with harmonies)
(Louder, more intense, building to a crescendo)
Ohhhhhhhhhh…
Ahhhhhhhhhh…
Ohhhhhhhhhh...
(Final whisper, fading)
Lalala, lalalala, lalala...
(Stars can’t shine without darkness…)
Final Chorus:
Stars can’t shine without darkness
(Lalala, lalalala, lalala)
Light doesn’t grow where it’s flawless
(Lalala, lalalala, lalala)
Out of the ashes I rise and I burn
Through all of the chaos, there’s something I learned
Stars can’t shine without darkness
Outro:
Oooohhh...
Stars can’t shine without darkness…
Dayzzz
