It seems to me that the singer is talking either to himself or to another person, referred to Persona A from this point on. Persona A says that no matter how much he/she tries, nothing ever changes. The stars will never change, nothing great will ever happen, and that he/she is permanently stuck in his/her life situation. Confidence and hope for a better tomorrow is pointless so he/she becomes "grateful for what I have". Persona A gives up and accepts his/her crappy situation even though deep at heart, Persona A really regrets not having/being something more.
This is the part the singer comes in, referred to Persona B from now on. It is the voice of reason. It is the voice of fight, stubbornness, standing up for your rights, change, hope, and desire. Persona B is telling Persona A, "You gotta be kidding me? You keep going through your menial life and, even though you told me that at one point you used to dream for more, you have been beaten down so many times that you have decided that this is the best you'll ever get? You have decided that you are going to be alright with this crap? You're going to put yourself in denial that you aren't truly happy at heart and pretend that everything is alright? That's so...pathetic." In a way, Persona B is trying to rile up the tiny flicker barely alive in Persona A's soul and ignite it into the flame it once was by constructive criticism.
