Shooting Star

Burning, burning
Bright in the sky
Your star

It’s getting hotter
You’re getting hotter
Everyone wants to know you
Everyone wants to be you

You smile
You wink
At a million girls
I stand by
I watch
I hurt
Just one of many
Silent observers

I know what fueled your ascent
My heart
Now I know why you dated me
But here’s a secret
The brighter you burn (The more hearts you break)
The faster you fade
Burning, burning,
A shooting star
Here..and then it’s gone

Glowing, glowing, a galaxy of modest stars
Watching the arc of the shooting star
Gravity
Things that go up
Must come down
Karma
Those who break hearts
Will be punished

I watched you fall
Just like the million other girls
Who you whispered promises to in the dead of the night
We all wished on you
You carried our hopes and dreams
When you crashed down to the Earth
You set them
Set us
Free
Burning, burning…
Fading, fading
Going, going..
Gone
