Painted Stars

I found you, when your stars were broken
I reached out - tender in touch
You let me - pulled from your sorrows
You gave me, the love I yearned for

Reaching out for the stars, touching the flames
The warmth in my heart, grew all the same
That powerful force, raised me to the skies
Frightened by heights, but blinded by light

Will you seek me? If I fall down
Buried in leaves, beneath dark silver crowns
Will you save me, when my light’s gone out?
Or far up in heaven - is it just painted stars?

Didn't ask for much - just truth and devotion
I held you close, gave you my all
Starstruck, then painfully shot down
Why did you rip open your old scars?

And there is the truth - hidden behind
You said you were done, but showed other signs
You glowed oh so bright - a perfect facade
I reached for the light, deceived by it all

Will you seek me? When I fall down
Buried in leaves, beneath dark silver crowns
Who will save me, when my light’s gone out?
Far up in heaven - is it just painted stars?

Because when I hold your hand,
there is a hollowness
Your gaze is holding mine,
but your heart is somewhere else

You look back, you go back
from where you came
She left you, in darkness,
leaving you with pain
I stopped your descent
but will you return the same?

Will you seek me? As I fall down
Buried in leaves, beneath dark silver crowns
Someone save me - my light has gone out
Far up in heaven - is it just painted stars?
Yeah far up in heaven - it's all painted stars
