the furthest star

Singer:amy macdonald

the furthest star in the sky

well that's the one that passed me by. i tried to wish upon that star

it didn't get me very far. it fell on empty ears

it fell on empty hearts. and my dreams

they fell apart. i'm always wishing i was someone else

i'm always hoping i can sell myself

but i'll be free for what i believe

and i won't sell my soul just to achieve my goal. and i've been holding back the tears

dreaming all these years. and i sing from the heart if you'll listen to me

everything i do is what i believe. the lights went out across the world

and your house of cards came tumbling down

cause nothing stays and noting sticks

when you're rolling with the lunatics. but my star in the darkest sky

twinkles and watches while the other stars die

upon your empty ears and empty hearts. i'm always wishing i was someone else

but i've given up the goals

i will never sell myself. but i'll be free for what i believe

and i won't sell my soul just to achieve my goal. and i've been holding back the tears

dreaming all these years. and i sing from the heart if you'll listen to me

everything i do is what i believe. the furthest star in the sky

well that's the one that passed me by. i tried to wish upon that star

it didn't get me very far.
