We All Act Like Stars

[Verse 1] We’re lighting up our phones in the dark again Fake laughs echo through the lens Say we don’t care but we rehearse the lines Every move like it’s televised Mirror talks but it don’t feel real Got a thousand eyes but they never see We’re just kids in a polished frame Playing roles in a highlight scene [Pre-Chorus] We say it’s nothing But we feel everything Yeah we’re pretending It’s just a game we’re in [Chorus] (Hypnotic / Repetitive) We all act like stars Even in the dark Shining just enough To hide who we are We all act like stars Say it’s not that hard But we’re falling apart Behind the facade [Verse 2] Late nights with the same old crew Same stories but a different view We’re chasing something we can’t define But it looks so good online Gold lights on a hollow face Quick love, fast fade, no trace Say we’re fine, yeah we always do But the silence cuts right through [Pre-Chorus] We say it’s nothing But it’s everything Yeah we’re pretending We don’t feel a thing We all act like stars Even in the dark Shining just enough To hide who we are We all act like stars Say it’s not that hard But we’re falling apart Behind the facade [Bridge] (Soft / Atmospheric Breakdown) Turn the lights down low Let the truth slip out If nobody’s watching Do we still play proud? Take the shine away Who are we without? All the noise fades out… [Final Chorus] (Layered / Emotional Lift) We all act like stars Even in the dark Shining just enough To hide who we are We all act like stars But it leaves a mark Yeah we glow so bright Then we fall apart [Outro] (Minimal / Fading) We don’t even know who we are… We just act like stars…
