Star Return

A setting sun implies a better day
I wonder if you have grown tired
Of hearing all the people call you out
Time seems far away
But even with the best of odds
You'll never see it coming
I stay to myself
In hopes that you've got no one else
But by the time I've realized I've lost you
You've gone with someone else

Despair creeps on me like an old lover makes a star return
(Don't show up and mess with me)
The odds of us meeting tonight are slim
But still I'll keep fighting on
(For us to be reunited again)
Carry on and say goodbye
Put the light out like the cigarette
You hold

Ambiance surrounds both you and I
The empty space between us
Holds me back from loving you again
The face you haven't seen yet
But once again you wish and watch
While someone else makes it all okay
I stay to myself
In hopes that you've got no one else
But by the time I've realized I've lost you
You've gone with someone else

Despair creeps on me like an old lover makes a star return
(Don't show up and mess with me)
The banter of our hearts
Slowly dies
I wish I'd stop but I'm not in control
Of this, of you, only I
Carry on and say goodbye
Put the light out like the cigarette
You hold, cradled against you
