Headline news, it's like déjà vu
We all saw it coming to them
Tears are shed for the famous dead
We all knew how this one would end
They lived out our dreams, they bet much higher
But we still let them walk into the fire
When will we ever learn
Why, it's always the brightest stars that burn
We heard them cry but ignored the signs
Cos it's easier to pretend
It's uncomfortable but we're culpable
Cos we let it happen again
Eaten alive by their own desire
Still we just let them walk into the fire
When will we ever learn
Why, it's always the brightest stars that burn
When will we ever learn
Why, it's always the brightest stars that burn
They're the vulnerable, need us most of all
See them on a roll, watch it all unfold
We ignore the call, let them take the fall
Could have saved them all, the blame lies with us all
They're the vulnerable, need us most of all
See them on a roll, watch it all unfold
We ignore the call, let them take the fall
Could have saved them all, shame on us all
They're the vulnerable, need us most of all
When will we ever learn
Why, it's always the brightest stars
