Stars

Verse 1
I counted constellations on my ceiling
Tried to make your name out of the light
They say everything is always changing
But I stayed the same every night

You said, “Don’t read into the silence.”
So I tried to let it be
But every wish I ever whispered
Was you choosing me

Pre-Chorus
I held my breath and waited
Like the sky would bend somehow
I was looking up for answers
You never looked down

Chorus
You were the only star that shone bright for me
If only, ohhhhh
You were the star for me
I traced your light in the dark of my room
Thought every wish would lead back to you
But the sky doesn’t promise a thing
You were the star for me

Verse 2
I learned the stars don’t stay forever
They burn, and then they fade away
I made a wish I should’ve known better
You were never mine to save

You looked at me like I was something
Just not the one you’d keep
I was holding onto hope
While you were fast asleep

Pre-Chorus
I thought if I waited long enough
You’d finally see it too
But even stars fall silent
When the night is through

Chorus
You were the only star that shone bright for me
If only, ohhhhh
You were the star for me
I traced your light in the dark of my room
Thought every wish would lead back to you
But the sky doesn’t promise a thing
You were the star for me

Bridge
Maybe I looked too high above me
For someone standing right there
I called it fate, I called it something
You just called it unfair

I made a wish and called it hope
You never looked up once
I watched you disappear
Like you were never mine at all

Final Chorus
You were the only star that shone bright for me
If only, ohhhhh
You were the star for me
I gave you every wish I had
Every quiet thing I couldn’t say
Now I’m learning how to breathe
Without your light on me

Outro
The sky feels empty tonight
But I’ll be alright
I won’t wish on you anymore
