Stars In the Night
You said never
And It was my own fault
You wouldn't trust me
How many times had we had that talk
Yelling at each other
Fighting at night
Fighting for each other
Does it matter who was right
I said never
And it was another's fault
I wouldn't trust you
Another had broken my heart
Clenching our fists
Straining not to hit the walls
Breaking through barriers
Clenching our jaws
You swore I wouldn't get in
I couldn't touch your heart
You looked into my eyes
Forgetting one essential part
You fell with a kiss
And when my tears first fell
When I opened your first
And your fears first spilled
I looked into your eyes
Seeing what was hidden in the dark
The remainder of a flame
Beating in your heart
I'll cradle it's warmth
Till the embers glow bright
And your love burns
Like the stars in the night
