Everything in my heart these days is all about shooting stars

The streaks on the glass windows when the cold fogged up the car

Driving past the night as soft notes blared through my speakers

Heart throbbing in my lonely chest and I'm nearing tears now

Running out of words and my time is getting short

If trying hurts my heart so much why don't I just abort

The stars are all crumbled to dust and I can't breathe through the smoke

I'm surrounded by gleaming mirrors reflecting what I broke

I'm speeding through the lanes now on my quest to catch a wish

Sirens blaring through the black and the clouds act like the moon doesn't exist

If everything I love crumbles to ashes and the light fades to null

What if I found a way for dust to be beautiful

I break through the glass and then I'm asking all my questions to an empty storm of quiet

All the diamonds cut my heart into a shape that's even prettier

And if I'm alone it's just so I can become better

I'm going to find a way to make art from the shattered

Still stuck to the night air and the empty seats in my car

Still letting my broken heart explode with shooting stars

If you crush me til I go numb and I'm just overcome

I'll take the stars down with me and they'll flame though spirit's done

Their dust will glow a million glitters long after love's gone
