the stars are burning out as they drift across the sky
their lights are fading out as they softly float on by
but i can't grab them, catch them, keep them close to home
i can't hold them tight and never let them go
(breathe the stardust, feel the light
break your heart before it breaks tonight)
let the stars pass by as i stand and watch them burn
let the lights in the heavens become my broken words
'cause i can't trust myself, i can't let myself be true
so twinkle, twinkle, little star, shine and show the truth
my heart is dead, come and bring it back to life
it's angry and dark, come and make it sweet and light
though i am tired, i am far away from home
the stars will guide me, make me feel much less alone
(breathe the stardust, feel the light
break your heart before it breaks tonight)
let the stars pass by as i stand and watch them burn
let the lights in the heavens become my broken words
'cause i can't trust myself, i can't let myself be true
so twinkle, twinkle, little star, shine and show the truth
i see the stardust as it glitters on my fingers
i see the shining stars above me tonight
i know my mind is on the glimmer as it lingers
across the dusk in the pale moonlight
let the stars pass by as i stand and watch them burn
let the lights in the heavens become my broken words
'cause i can't trust myself, i can't let myself be true
so twinkle, twinkle, little star, shine and show the truth
let the stars pass by as i stand and watch them burn
let the lights in the heavens become my broken words
'cause i can't trust myself, i can't let myself be true
so twinkle, twinkle, little star, shine and show the truth
