To Catch A Bitter Star

Stayed up all night because
I missed the setting sun
Through the haze of tears
To find where love began
To fade and to falter

You know that you
Have never needed a hero
You sail too high
Like a lost angel’s echo
Sighing in the wind

      Last night I saw a bitter star
      Fall from your eyes
      Leaving another scar
      Tracing paths of fate
      With no promises
      To chase the pain away

Can’t you see all mirrors
Play the same twisted games
Freezing the little moments
To show your soul’s grief
Framed for all eyes to see

Then the weight comes crushing down
Burying your once bright face
Deep into biting, hardened ground
Humiliation tastes fresh to broken dreams
The ingrained grime feels as dirty as it seems

      Last night I saw a bitter star
      Fall from your eyes
      Leaving another scar
      Tracing paths of fate
      With no promises
      To chase the pain away

And I can never catch that moment again

      Last night I saw a bitter star
      Fall from your eyes
      Leaving another scar
      Tracing paths of fate
      With no promises
      To chase the pain away

I didn’t think this night would ever end
But as night faded into day

      Last night a track of tears
      Fell from your eyes
      Before they found their fears
      I watched them die
      With this lover’s kiss
      That chased the pain away

We knew there was nothing more to say
A love that will never fail
Nor fade to hopeless grey
The mirrors could not reflect our song
Despite the darkness we never got it wrong

      Last night a track of tears
      Fell from your eyes
      Before they found their fears
      I watched them die
      With this lover’s kiss
      That chased the pain away
