i start to think about the stars and i feel lost
i start to wonder where you are and really count the cost
when you leave you’re gonna take all those happy songs i wrote
i’ll only sing the sad ones now
yeah, i know how this goes
i’m trying to imagine a future without you
that’s something i never wanted to have to do
cause you made me feel safe when i was with you
like no one did before
you made me feel safe, i wanted to stay that way
go ahead and lock the door
i wanted safety and i found it in your arms
but i don’t think you really wanted the ugly parts of my heart
and i have to be okay with that
i have to let it go
i have to be okay with that
i just wanted you to know
that you were a constellation
and i thought you were guiding me home
but when i cry myself to sleep every night i think I’m better off alone
but you were so beautiful up there in the sky
romantic and timeless and i don’t want to say goodbye
i’ll keep watching the sky as it darkens like a bruise
i’ll ask the stars to take my pain and bring me home to you
but you don’t look up
no, you don’t even try
you don’t look up
no, you don’t even try
please just look up
please just give me a try
please just look up
please just give me a try

what if my love is wasted on you?
it’s no secret that i’m a wreck
but if what you say is true
maybe you’ll love me in spite of it
i don’t know what you see in me
i’m always scared that it’s a lie
even though i always tell the truth, to you, at least
won’t give you the power to make me cry
maybe i knew you in a past life
maybe we were lovers back then too
i don’t know how to control my wandering mind
but i know it brings me back to you
always brings me back to you
i’m trying not to be scared of this
or hold it too tightly in my hands
i don’t want to be the one who ruins it
but if it has to break, i understand
i’ll walk the line between hopeful and just plain blind
i want those wicked thoughts to be wrong
but if you change your mind, i don’t want it to be a surprise
i want to say i knew it all along
maybe i knew you in a past life
maybe we were lovers back then too
i don’t know how to control my wandering mind
but i know it brings me back to you
always brings me back to you
