lyrics

Staring at the places between our flaws
It's easier to breathe
Throws the attention from me
No honour in hurting hold your head high
You won't lose as no one is you

Round the night goes
Will you forgive my last post
If you can learn to let it go
We could let our light glow

What are we hiding for hiding for hiding for
What we are is stars
What are we hiding for hiding for hiding for
What we are is stars
We're stars
We're stars

Normality's mythology holding us back
We our cheating ourselves as we keep on
Trying to be perfect
What's the excuse because
Our time's for us

What are we hiding for hiding for hiding for
What we are is stars
What are we hiding for hiding for hiding for
What we are is stars
We're stars
We're stars

What we are is burning
Holding back and holding in
There's no laws I've missed
I've been like this from start
Now i'll force it apart
Force it apart
Force it apart
Force it apart

What are we
What are we
What are we
What are we

What are we hiding for hiding for hiding for
What we are is stars
What are we hiding for hiding for hiding for
What we are is stars
We're stars
We're stars
We're stars
