I'm stuck here with a pen in my hand
With no words to write
It seems like all of my thoughts
Are trying to hide
Baby I don't want to hurt you
Is what they would say
And I don't want to leave you
But I can't stay
Like the stars in outer space
Way beyond this town
You and I were on fire
But we burnt to the ground
I want you to shine in the night
Without me pulling you down
Because I know you will burn brighter
If I'm not around
There are so many things
That I could say
Like I knew that this was love
As soon as it hurt this way
But you and I are on different roads
Pretending they're the same
Maybe they will cross
And we will meet again
Like the stars in outer space
Way beyond this town
You and I were on fire
But we burnt to the ground
I want you to shine in the night
Without me pulling you down
Because I know you will burn brighter
If I'm not around
I will always think of you babe
With every star in the night
When I want to see your face
I just look up and watch you shine
Like the stars in outer space
Way beyond this town
You and I were on fire
But we burnt to the ground
I want you to shine in the night
Without me pulling you down
Because I know you will burn brighter
If I'm not around
