[English]

I've got no place

Building you a rocket up to outer space

I watch you fade

Keeping the lights on in this forsaken place

Little star

Feels like you fell right on my head

Gave you away to the wind

I hope it was worth it in the end

Us against the world

Just a couple sinners making fun of hell

If I keep you here

I'll only be doing this for myself

Little star

Feels like you fell right on my head

Gave you away to the wind

I hope it was worth it in the end

I know this thing is broken

So I'll leave my door right open

Been some time since we've spoken

One day, we'll meet again

Little star

Feels like you fell right on my head

Gave you away to the wind

I hope it was worth it in the end

You and my guitar

I think you may be my only friend

I'd give it all to see you shine again

I hope it was worth it in the end

I hope it was worth it in the end
