The star I can never have

Verse 1

You’re glistening in the midnight, following me for miles

You were the only kind of light that ever made me smile

But watching you fade out slowly feels worse than being dead

‘Cause your glow gave me courage—now I’m drowning in my head

And when you run away from me, it makes me blind in the dark

I tried to help you, got rejected… now you’re tearing me apart

Pre-Chorus

I try to act okay, but I’m shaking when you move

Your halo turns to poison when you twist the truth

I hate the way you look at me like loving me’s a crime

Then you shine like it’s nothing, and I fall back every time

Chorus

You’re my Blacking Star

I can see you, but you’re far

And I reach until I break my heart

In this endless night, you’re all I’ve got

And I— I’m addicted to poisonous love

Yeah I know you’re dangerous, but I can’t give you up

You’re my Blacking Star

Yeah you shine… then you scar

Verse 2

Tired of being like these average Joes, you got all the “hoes”

Got me sick down to my toes, but I still won’t let you go

Acting so nice, putting on a scene

Leaving me on “seen,” now you got me like a fiend

Now you’re the enemy, looking like a sin to be

Guess you put the thrill in me—now these pretty feelings killing me

And I’m confused on what I want, but it’s always back to you

Even when a part of me is begging me to choose

Pre-Chorus 2

You pull me close, then disappear, like I’m a game you play

You’re a kiss that turns to smoke the second that I say your name

I try to run, but I relapse every time you light the sky

You’re the reason I’m alive… and the reason I can’t fly

Chorus

You’re my Blacking Star

I can see you, but you’re far

And I reach until I break my heart

In this endless night, you’re all I’ve got

And I— I’m addicted to poisonous love

Yeah I know you’re dangerous, but I can’t give you up

You’re my Blacking Star

Yeah you shine… then you scar

Bridge (drop / raw)

Why you glow when I’m leaving?

Why you freeze when I need it?

Why you make me feel chosen—then you treat me like you mean it?

I don’t wanna be your lesson

I don’t wanna be your “phase”

I just wanted something real…

but you love me in delays

Final Chorus (big)

You’re my Blacking Star

I can see you, but you’re far

And I reach until I break my heart

In this endless night, you’re all I’ve got

And I— I’m addicted to poisonous love

Tried to quit a thousand times, but I’m stuck inside your blood

You’re my Blacking Star

Yeah you shine… then you scar

(Blacking Star… Blacking Star…
