I look at you and I wonder

Do you really love the stars?

That beautiful ghostly world

Watched only from afar

And I always think about your heartbeat

Looking up at that haunting sky

Is this where the drumbeat is?

Where you go to cry

That place of hallowed isolation

No more paper flowers

And each and every heartbeat

Lasts a thousand hours

Your love is a love I have not known

As the moon cannot kiss the sea

Not the love you've always shown

And still never meant for me

So says your midnight heart

The stars have not seen this

Not in all their years

I swear it only rains

When they see your tears

You tried to dance away

Said no more paper flowers here

Still blinded by the light of the day

Said nevermore am I in fear

Your love is a love I have not known

As the moon cannot kiss the sea

Not the love you've always shown

And still never meant for me

No it was never meant to me

So says your midnight heart

Go on my lost angel

Float into the blackest night

Cloaked in a gown of white

Said you don't need to fight

Now I bask in your starlight

Look up to this new star

Burning like the midnight heart

Paper flowers starting to grow

And here I am, wrapped in scars

Content to watch from afar
