Burnt-out Star

When a star burns bright, It don't last long My time is up So here's my fight, And here's my song I can't do this any more I've hung on for so long But now I'm on the verge of collapse For you all, I've been strong But all my strength has been sapped Now I'm heading for collapse I'm heading for collapse My time is up My star has died I'm going supernova, Make worlds collide And life's destroyed. I'm a black hole so open wide The pit's opened up So stand at the rim Just where you are And take a good look in I'm fragmenting again Centre Stage, here I am I don't wanna do this I don't think I can I can't go on Carry on without me Why do I feel this way? Somebody, tell me why? I don't wanna stay. Somebody, let me die! This is all I have to say I can't find another way: Fuck the World But I love you all Somebody, tell me why? Somebody, let me die! Somebody, tell me why? I can't do this any more I don't want to be here any more I'm not gonna stay It's time for me to go And I'm going far away. Somebody, let me die! Somebody, tell me why? Somebody, let me die! Somebody let me die
