A Star Is Born (Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper) Soundtrack Album Lyrics

[Instrumental]

Black eyes open wide
It's time to testify
There's no room for life
And everyone's waiting for you

And I'm gone, sitting by the phone
And I'm all alone by the wayside
And I'm gone, sitting by the phone
And I'm all alone by the wayside

By the wayside
I'm by the wayside
I'm by the wayside

Too far gone and I'm by the phone
And I'm all alone and I'm off alone
By the wayside
By the wayside
I'm by the wayside
I'm by the wayside
I'm by the wayside
I'm by the wayside
By the wayside

I'm by the wayside
I'm by the wayside
I'm by the wayside

Black eyes open wide
It's time to testify
There's no room for life
And everyone's waiting for you
Everyone's looking at you
Everyone's looking at you
Everyone's waiting for you
Everyone's waiting for you

[Lady Gaga]
When all the world is a hopeless jumble
And the raindrops tumble all around
Heaven opens a magic lane
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found

[Jackson Maine & Ramon & Shangela]
Hey is this a drag bar?
Yeah, Papo, yeah, yeah, b-but,
look we do this every Friday night.
Yo it's crazy; it's so lit though
She used to work here as a server, but tonight,
the only thing she's serving are some fabulous, French live vocals

[Jackson:] You come with me to Memphis

[Ally:]
Rez wants to keep me here, because you know, they rushed out the single,
And they're so excited that they want me to finish the album, so I'm working on that

[Jackson:] Listen to what you're sayin'. Listen to what you just said. People wanna hear what you have to say.

[Ally:] I know--

[Jackson:] That's the stuff right there.

[Ally:] I-I-I can't...

[Jackson:] Hey, hey..take it in.

[Ally & Jackson Maine]
Why did you come back here?
Your friend brought me back here. I'm glad he did. Can I buy you a drink?
Oh I-I-I got to change and I-I got paint in my hair and—
I'll wait for you
Um, yeah, okay, sure
Yeah, if you wanna wait I'll come have a drink with you, sure

Maybe it's time to let the old ways die
Maybe it's time to let the old ways die
It takes a lot to change a man
Hell, it takes a lot to try
Maybe it's time to let the old ways die

Nobody knows what waits for the dead
Nobody knows what waits for the dead
Some folks just believe in the things they've heard
And the things they read
Nobody knows what awaits for the dead

I'm glad I can't go back to where I came from
I'm glad those days are gone, gone for good
But if I could take spirits from my past and bring' 'em here
You know I would, you know I would

Nobody speaks to God these days
Nobody speaks to God these days
I'd like to think he's looking down and laughing at our ways
Nobody speaks to God these days

When I was a child they tried to fool me
Said the worldly man was lost and that hell was real
Well, I've seen hell in Reno
And this world's one big ol' Catherine wheel
Spinnin' still

Maybe it's time to let the old ways die
Maybe it's time to let the old ways die
It takes a lot to change your plans
And a train to change your mind
Maybe it's time to let the old ways die
Oh, maybe it's time to let the old ways die

[Lady Gaga]
Tell me something, boy
Aren't you tired tryin' to fill that void?
Or do you need more?
Ain't it hard keepin' it so hardcore?

[Bradley Cooper]
That me?

[Lady Gaga]
That's you

[Bradley Cooper]
Did you just write that now?

[Lady Gaga]
Yeah

[Instrumental]

Don't ask me 'bout tomorrow

Or tell me about my past

My heart is yours to borrow

Ain't nothing meant to last



I ain't lyin'

I don't lie

Without an alibi



Don't ask too many questions

You don't want answers to

You don't like my direction

Hell, I won't follow you



I ain't lyin'

I don't lie

Without an alibi



I told my dyin' daddy

That I had to run away

Looked him in the eyes

Said, "there ain't no other way"

So woman, if I tell you that I love you, be ok



'Cause I ain't lyin'

I don't lie

Without an alibi



I love you in the morning

And when the day is done

But if you want my freedom

You know I'm bound to run



I ain't lyin'

I don't lie

Without an alibi



I told my dyin' daddy

That I had to run away

Looked him in the eyes

Said, "there ain't no other way"

So woman, if I tell you that I love you, be ok



'Cause I ain't lyin'

I don't lie

Without an alibi

[Jackson Maine & Ally & Announcer]
Thank you very much. Now isn't she great?
There's a friend of mine who, uh, came a long way to be here,
and she wrote a great song, and I'd just like her to sing it.
I think it's pretty f*cking good
How are you? You made it
I'm good, hi. How are you? It was so good
I was lucky to see you. Everything all right? The trip was fine?
Yeah
I did an arrangement that was kinda not so great, but, uh,
maybe you can just take a—yeah, yeah, come on, here we go
—no I can't do that. I'm sorry. Jack, please, this is not fine.
Jack, don't go for that
All you gotta do is trust me...

[Bradley Cooper]
Tell me somethin' girl
Are you happy in this modern world?
Or do you need more
Is there somethin' else you're searchin' for?

I'm fallin'
In all the good times
I find myself longin' for change
And in the bad times I fear myself

[Lady Gaga]
Tell me something boy
Aren't you tired tryin' to fill that void?
Or do you need more
Ain't it hard keepin' it so hardcore?

I'm falling
In all the good times
I find myself longing for change
And in the bad times I fear myself

[Chorus]
I'm off the deep end
Watch as I dive in
I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface
Where they can't hurt us
We're far from the shallow now

[Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper]
In the sha-ha-sha-ha-low
In the sha-ha-sha-la-la-la-low
In the sha-ha-sha-ha-ha-low
We're far from the shallow now

[Lady Gaga]
Ooooo aahaaa ooou (s)
Ooo ouo oooo haaaa (s)

I'm off the deep end
Watch as I dive in
I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface
Where they can't hurt us
We're far from the shallow now

[Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper]
In the sha-ha-sha-ha-low
In the sha-ha-sha-la-la-la-low
In the sha-ha-sha-ha-ha-low
We're far from the shallow now

[Lady Gaga]
I don't feel this way about everybody

[Bradley Cooper]
Well good, we're on the same page, you come sing with me

[Lady Gaga]
Where?

[Bradley Cooper]
Well, first stop's Arizona

[Bradley Cooper]
You're music to my eyes
I had to listen just to find you
I like for you to let me sing along
Give you a rhythm you feel

I wanna learn your every line
I wanna fill your empty spaces
I want to play the part to reach your heart
Sing you a song that you feel

[Chorus]
Love let your music be mine
Sing while I harmonize
Let your melodies fly in my direction
Take me to your paradise
On a musical ride
I'm in love with your music baby
You're music to my eyes

[Lady Gaga]
Your voice is quite a view
I heard a song and then I saw you
I learned the lyrics and knew you were mine
Dance the horizon with you

I wanna sing you a sunrise
And be the dawn I know will move you
I'd like to be the strings on your guitar
Touch me and play what you feel

[Bradley Cooper & Lady Gaga]
Love let your music be mine
Sing while I harmonize
Let your melodies fly in my direction
Take me to your paradise
On a musical ride
I'm in love with your music baby
You're music to my eyes

[Bradley Cooper]
You're killin' me baby with the things you do
Put me in the ground before we're through
Burnin' up this town
Spendin' everythin' I've saved
Yeah
You've been out all night
Diggin' my grave

[Bradley Cooper & Lady Gaga]
Every little lie you tell can't keep it hid
You're just another nail on the coffin lid
Someone else is gettin' all the love you never gave
Woo
Yeah
And you've been up all night
Diggin' my grave, yeah

[Chorus]
So keep on runnin' around
Ain't no need to hurry back
Cause I'll be gone from here
And you'll be all dressed up in black

Six feet under baby that's where I'll be
By the time that you're done with me
All these tears I cry
Drownin' in a tidal wave
You've been out all night
Diggin' my grave

[Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper]
Alright listen to me, here's what we're gonna do
You're going to do the songs that I say that I wanted you to do, remember?
Please don't
This is what I said, you promised me you were gonna do it
I don't wanna sing
I love you
I'll always remember us this way

That Arizona sky burnin' in your eyes
You look at me and, babe, I wanna catch on fire
It's buried in my soul like California gold
You found the light in me that I couldn't find

So when I'm all choked up
And I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye
Baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way

Lovers in the night
Poets tryin' to write
We don't know how to rhyme
But, damn, we try
But all I really know
You're where I wanna go
The part of me that's you will never die

So when I'm all choked up
And I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye
Baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way

Oh, yeah
I don't wanna be just a memory, baby, yeah
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo

So when I'm all choked up
And I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye
Baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way, way, yeah
When you look at me
And the whole world fades
I'll always remember us this way

[REZ]
Ally, that was unbelievable

[ALLY]
Thank you

[REZ]
That was unbelievable what you did out there

[ALLY]
Thank you

[REZ]
I don't know if you know anything about me, about where I come from. I'm Rez Gavron

[ALLY]
I know who you are

[REZ]
What you have right now goes way beyond just this. The question to you is, what do you want?

[ALLY]
I, I don't, I, I...
I gotta talk to Jack

[JACKSON]
What are you writing down in here?

[ALLY]
I had this idea on the bike, and I don't want to forget it

[JACKSON]
How do you hear it?

[ALLY]
La-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da ba-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da

1-2-3
I'm alone in my house
I'm out on the town
I'm at the bottom of the bottle
I've been knockin' 'em down

I can't get back up on my feet
See the lights on the street like stars
But look what I found
Look what I found
Another piece of my heart
Just layin' on the ground

Under the foggy day
I'm lookin' for a light
And my only friend
Is workin' tonight

I can't get myself out of bed
Hear these voices in my head like a song
But look what I found
Somebody who loves me
Look what I found
Somebody who'll carry 'round a piece of my heart
Just layin' on the ground

When I met you I was blown to pieces
Heart all over the floor
Ever since you put me back together
I can't believe it won't believe it
Uh
Look what you found!
Yeah baby
Look what I found
Someone who'll carry 'round a piece of my heart
Look what I found
Whoo!
C'mon!
Look what I found
Somebody who loves me
Look what we found
Somebody who'll carry 'round a piece of my heart
Heart just layin' on the ground

[Jackson:] You come with me to Memphis

[Ally:]
Rez wants to keep me here, because you know, they rushed out the single,
and they're so excited that they want me to finish the album, so I'm working on that

[Jackson:] Listen to what you're sayin'. Listen to what you just said. People wanna hear what you have to say.

[Ally:] I know--

[Jackson:] That's the stuff right there.

[Ally:] I-I-I can't...

[Jackson:] Hey, hey..take it in.

[Thanks to tmh for correcting these lyrics]

Treat me like your patient
Just don't keep me waiting
Or I'll just be wasted
In a crowd of the lonely
I need you to inspire me
When I can't inspire myself
I need you to provide for me
When I feel like someone else

Lay me down lay me down now
Lay me down touch my spirit ooh
Lay me down lay me down now
Lay me down

Heal me
God knows nothin' else is gonna
Gonna heal me
Oh before it's too late
Won't you steal me
Steal me all the way from myself
Won't you heal me?
Heal me ahah
Heal me ahah
Heal me ahah

Dose me with your energy
Leave your soul inside of me
Cool me down and calm me
Ring me don't alarm me

Lay me down lay me down now
Lay me down touch my spirit ooh
Lay me down lay me down now
Lay me down

Heal me
God knows nothin' else is gonna
Gonna heal me
Ooh before it's too late
Won't you steal me
Steal me all the way from myself
Won't you heal me?
Heal me ahah
Heal me ahah
Heal me ahah

I wanna be more or equal not less
I wanna be happy with someone
I wanna feel blessed
I wanna be more or equal not less
I wanna be happy with someone
I wanna feel blessed

Heal me
God knows nothin' else is gonna
Gonna heal me
Ooh before it's too late
Won't you steal me
Steal me all the way from myself
Won't you heal me?
Heal me ahah
Heal me ahah
Heal me ahah

[Lady Gaga]
I don't know what love is
If I can't have you here
I don't know what love is
I think that it's just fear

[Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper]
I don't know the tempo
Of my heart's concerto
It all seems like a dream
It's not
I know there's something real out there for me

[Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper]
I swear I've seen an angel
And paradise in blue and every color I choose
But I don't know what love is
But I think it might be you

[Bradley Cooper]
If I had the courage
I'd know just what to do
Sometimes I have to crawl and everyday I fall tryin' just to stand by you

[Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper]
I swear I've seen an angel
And paradise in blue and every color I choose
But I don't know what love is
But I think it might be you

[Ally]
When we gave our vows at the altar,
I just didn't get to say everything I wanted to say,
so I wrote it down and I brought it here.
I hope it's okay if I love you forever, Jack

Life is so simple
A little boy, a little girl
Laughing and loving
Tryin' to figure out the world

It felt like summer
When I kissed you in the rain
And I know your story
But tell me again

Nothing you say wouldn't interest me
All of your words are like poems to me
I would be honored if you would take me as I am

I want you
To look right in my eyes
To tell me you love me
To be by my side
I want you
At the end of my life
I wanna see your face when I fall with grace
At the moment I die
Is that alright?
Is that alright?

I hope you're still with me
When I'm not quite myself
And I pray that you'll lift me
When you know I need help

It's a warm celebration
Of all of our years
I dream of our story
Of our fairy-tale

Family dinners and family trees
Teachin' the kids to say, "Thank you," and, "Please"
Knowin' if we stay together that things will be right

I want you
To look right in my eyes
To tell me you love me
To be by my side
I want you
At the end of my life
Wanna see your face when I fall with grace
At the moment I die
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?

And you know why? 'Cause you're too worried about what everybody else is thinking
(Here we go)
You can't even concentrate on one f*ckin' thing, that's right
(Here we go, Jack, you want me to be your dad and be your drinking buddy?)
Yeah, you couldn't be my dad if you f*ckin' tried
He had more talent in his f*ckin' finger than you have in your whole f*ckin' body, so don't even go there about that, all right? That's over the f*ckin' line

[ALLY]
Why don't you have another drink, and we can just get f*cking drunk until we f*ckin' disappear, okay? Hey, do you got those pills in your pocket?

You're just f*ckin' ugly, that's all

You're just f*ckin' ugly

Get the f*ck out! Get out! I said get out!

I can't believe the things you said
Right now I wish that you would try
Try to stay near me
Try to be near me
Before I cry

Cause I am gonna need a well
To catch the pain and lift the spell
Like you won't hear me
Can you try and hear me?
Before I cry

Hurry up hurry up
Before I lose you
Hurry up hurry up
Woah woah
Before you lose me too
Hurry up hurry up

Jack talked about how music is essentially 12 notes between any octave
Twelve notes, and the octave repeats
It's the same story, told over and over, forever
All any artist can offer the world is how they see those 12 notes. That's it. Hmm
He loved how you see them

[Ally]
Thank you for being here tonight to honor my husband
He wrote a song for me
I'd like to sing it for him tonight
And with your help, maybe I can
Thank you. Really, thank you

Wish I could, I could've said goodbye
I would've said what I wanted to
Maybe even cried for you
If I knew it would be the last time
I would've broke my heart in two
Tryna save a part of you

Don't wanna feel another touch
Don't wanna start another fire
Don't wanna know another kiss
No other name fallin' off my lips
Don't wanna give my heart away
To another stranger
Or let another day begin
Won't even let the sunlight in
No, I'll never love again
I'll never love again, oh, oh, oh, oh

When we first met
I never thought that I would fall
I never thought that I'd find myself
Lying in your arms, mm, mm
And I wanna pretend that it's not true
Oh, baby, that you're gone
'Cause my world keeps turnin', and turnin', and turnin'
And I'm not movin' on

Don't wanna feel another touch
Don't wanna start another fire
Don't wanna know another kiss
No other name fallin' off my lips
Don't wanna give my heart away
To another stranger
Or let another day begin
Won't even let the sunlight in
No, I'll never love

I don't wanna know this feelin'
Unless it's you and me
I don't wanna waste a moment, ooh
And I don't wanna give somebody else the better part of me
I would rather wait for you, ooh

Don't wanna feel another touch
Don't wanna start another fire
Don't wanna know another kiss
Baby, unless they are your lips

Don't wanna give my heart away
To another stranger
Don't let another day begin
Won't let the sunlight in
Oh, I'll never love again
Never love again
Never love again
Oh, I'll never love again

Wish I could, I could've said goodbye
I would've said what I wanted to
Maybe even cried for you
If I knew it would be the last time
I would've broke my heart in two
Tryna save a part of you

Don't wanna feel another touch
Don't wanna start another fire
Don't wanna know another kiss
No other name fallin' off my lips
Don't wanna give my heart away
To another stranger
Or let another day begin
Won't even let the sunlight in
No, I'll never love again
I'll never love again, oh, oh, oh, oh

When we first met
I never thought that I would fall
I never thought that I'd find myself
Lying in your arms, mm, mm
And I wanna pretend that it's not true
Oh, baby, that you're gone
'Cause my world keeps turnin', and turnin', and turnin'
And I'm not movin' on

Don't wanna feel another touch
Don't wanna start another fire
Don't wanna know another kiss
No other name fallin' off my lips
Don't wanna give my heart away
To another stranger
Or let another day begin
Won't even let the sunlight in
No, I'll never love

I don't wanna know this feelin'
Unless it's you and me
I don't wanna waste a moment, ooh
And I don't wanna give somebody else the better part of me
I would rather wait for you, ooh

Don't wanna feel another touch
Don't wanna start another fire
Don't wanna know another kiss
Baby, unless they are your lips

Don't wanna give my heart away
To another stranger
Don't let another day begin
Won't let the sunlight in
Oh, I'll never love again
Never love again
Never love again
Oh, I'll never love again
