Falling Star – Audio

Falling Star – Lyrics

She had as much potential as a blank sheet of paper

One million things you wanted to make her

But she screwed herself up, and

You just had to stand and watch her fall.

Live by the sword, die by the pen

You hope it’s the beginning, but it looks like the end

Stuck on the first line of a novel

That could change the world.

She’s a Falling Star

Shines like an angel. Falling Star.

Falling Star

Fall like an angel. Falling Star.

You were the moth, she was the candle

She was burning too hot, too hot to handle

But you had Icarus wings you fell from the top floor.

Catch a falling star, put it in your pocket

She’ll burn your fingers and a hole right through your wallet.

Like a supernova she shone superstar bright

While the audience applauded she snuffed out the light.

Falling Star, she knew what she wanted

She knew exactly what she wanted

Falling Star, she got what she wanted

Exactly what she wanted

It wasn’t what she wanted.
