"Stars" lyrics

"Stars"

If this is home
Then what do I call where I came from?
I haven't seen the coast for so long
They got 'em here, but they're not the same
I never know
Know if I left too soon and too young
The people there who taught me so much
Did they get old?
Would they know this face?

Oh, it would have been selfless if I stayed
Oh, but I'm living here selfish in LA

There are no stars in The Hills
But still I find myself reaching for them
Fighting for them
Dying for them
Still, there are no stars in The Hills

Miss dad and mom
And laughing with my little brothers
They're the ones who keep me humble
I'm not there to see them growing up

Oh, it would have been selfless if I stayed
Oh, but I'm living here selfish in LA

There are no stars in The Hills
But still I find myself reaching for them
Fighting for them
Dying for them
Still, there are no stars in The Hills

No place like home here in Hollywood
No place like home here in Hollywood
No place like home here in Hollywood

There are no stars in The Hills
But still I find myself reaching for them
Fighting for them
Dying for them
Knowing they're not real
There are no stars in The Hills
