I've watched a star die Brilliant spark of light to be Colored in by the big black empty In the grand scheme It had faded long ago Crossed space at light speed A message from a ghost You can't unsee something like that I'm lying fetal in my bed It's only 5:49pm Begging sleep to save me from it Yeah I came here to tell you something I've been meaning to say Yeah, it's been on loop Running heavy through my brain Is it foolish to hope things don't have to change? 'Cause I've got bad news: I love you that way And I know what happens next Say you love me as a friend That's about what I'd expect We're adults I'll get over it Yeah Warm fingers get cold Watch it unfold in retrospect New crushes get old Trying hard not to regret What if I played my cards right? That's the wrong goose to chase down Hindsight is hindsight Those things can't be changed now
