A Midnight Sky


It wasn't all fair With the stars in your hair And the smile That played on your lips. When you made me believe Here's my long lost dream Coming true. Did you search far and wide, Capture stars and goodbyes When you let go of me? Now it's not at all fair With the tears in the air, But, I know, You don't really care. Well I traveled and flew From the sun back to you, But you were already gone. I captured the moon Just to bring light to you, But the fires of your lies Lit up your world Before I could even try. Now I am left to cry Under a dark midnight sky. Everything is wrong; Constellation's gone, Just as you Always knew it would be. Seems starlight burns bright If given the time Unlike us. Did you search far and wide, Watch old loves collide When you let go of ours? Now everything's wrong. Where do I belong-- Waiting here For star-studded dawns? Well I traveled and flew From the sun back to you, But you were already done. I captured the moon Just to bring light to you, But the fires in her eyes Lit up your world Before I could even try. Now I am left to cry Under a dark midnight sky. So here's to all the dead stars I left in your loveless heart.
