My Star In the Night

Falling from up high, not knowing where I’ll land
Love has always been transient, like a name on the sand

But I’m walking in darkness; only spots of light in the sky
Enwrapped in confusion, not knowing truth from a lie

I was set up to feel ashamed, to feel lonely (so I’d come back)
Which I did until you found on my heart’s walls, there was a crack

You’re far from perfect, not even close to being the best
But there’s a sense of warm attachment I feel in your caress

You might not be the sweetest, you don’t spoil me, but you’re real
And somewhere along the way, somehow my heart, you did steal

So I might be in the darkness, but you’re my star in the night, indeed
The shine that transmits from your love is all the light I need
