While It Lasted

See the dark sky above your head
Remember constellations used to shine there instead
Wishing for heat, but it's fading too fast
We're the last burning flames of a love that won't last

But it was beautiful while it lasted
It was beautiful while it lasted

We've been fading for some time now
We've just ignored all the rain somehow
Think it's time to agree, it's time to admit
Our spark's gone out whenever we've relit it

We are a broken light
We used to burn so bright
Glittering, glamourous, fantastic oh
We are a dying star
Too many shining scars
Shattered glass just looks like plastic

It was beautiful while it lasted, wasn't it, wasn't it
It was beautiful while it lasted

Flint and steel bones that crack underneath
The weight of the words that we don't mean
We were explosive with a bang from the very start
Nothing can save this flickering heart, oh

We are a broken light
We used to burn so bright
Glittering, glamourous, fantastic
We are a dying star
Too many shining scars
Shattered glass just looks like plastic

It was beautiful while it lasted, wasn't it, wasn't it
It was beautiful while it lasted, wasn't it, wasn't it
It was beautiful while it lasted, wasn't it, wasn't it
It was beautiful while it lasted, wasn't it, wasn't it

We are a broken light
We used to burn so bright
Glittering, glamourous, fantastic oh
We are a dying star
Too many shining scars
Shattered glass just looks like plastic

It was beautiful while it lasted, wasn't it, wasn't it
It was beautiful while it lasted
