[Verse 1]
You, oh you
Had a sad urge to be wanted by fools
Welcoming those that would be
Snoopin' troupin' enveloping your family jewels
[Verse 2]
You chose to grow your nose
Cause deep down you knew I knew you knew I knew
That I'd up and run quicker than you could come
Said I was too good for you
[Verse 3]
Wake up little Susie
It's bad news when you hear a guy cry
You spilt the beans in January
Timed it perfectly after your granny died (Tsk tsk tsk)
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You knew I wouldn't shoot a man when he was down
Well done Pinocchio you told a lie
I wouldn't take advantage of a cut-up heart
Such a vulnerable time, you tell me
"I'm so lonely
Won't you hold me?"
Stars shine only
But it's only light
Old light, it's been dead for a long time, long time
And with time, time
[Chorus 1]
Stars and love burn bright
'Til they're ready to die
The broken spend their nights
Staring at the sky
[Verse 4]
Now it's time
Bury the hatchet and bury it deep
You've a massive heart, but you're a fucked up kid
And we sow what we reap
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Woah, cause we grew up as solitary souls
Sometimes it's better to be on your own
I need time just to roam, roam, roam
Find a place I can call home
Love is like starlight
Even when a star dies
You can still see it shine
But it's only old light
Old light, it's been dead for a long time, time
With time, time
[Chorus 1]
Stars of love burn bright
'Til they're ready to die
The broken spend their nights
Staring at the sky
[Bridge]
Oh, If love enters your life
It leaves a stain inside your sky
This will lead you to believe
That it is still alive
[Chorus 2]
But is just old light
Completing its last flight
Across the velvet night
Stars burn bright till they die
[Outro]
Love bites in the sky
Our love is like starlight
Love is starlight
