Stars and love burn bright
Till they’re ready to die
The broken spend their nights
Staring at the sky
You, oh, you had a sad urge
To be wanted by fools
Welcoming girls that would be
Slippin', trippin', enveloping your family jewels
You chose to grow your nose
But deep down you knew, I knew, you knew, I knew
That I’d up and run quicker than good boys come
They said I was too good for you
Wake up little Suzie
It’s bad news when you hear a guy cry
You spilled the beans in January
Timed it perfectly after your granny died
(Tsk-tsk-tsk)
You knew I wouldn’t shoot a man when he was down
Well done Pinocchio you made a lie
Why would you take advantage of a cut up heart
At such a vulnerable time
You said,
"I’m so lonely, won’t you hold me?
I’m so lonely, come close baby hold me"
Love is like starlight
See it when a star dies
It continues to shine
But it's only old light
Oh, old light
It’s been dead for a long time
Long time
Time, time
Stars and love burn bright
Till they’re ready to die
The broken spend their nights
Staring at the sky
If love enters your life
It leaves a stain inside your sky
This will lead you to believe
That it is still alive
But it is just old light
Completing its last flight
Across a velvet night
Stars burn bright till they die
Like love bites in the sky
Love is like starlight
Love is starlight
I took all our favourite songs
Played them and I made them my own
I went to our favourite bars
And I drank in them alone
Woah, 'cause I’ve grown up a solitary soul
Sometimes I think it’s better on my own
I need time just to roam, roam, roam
Find one place I can call home
Love is like starlight
Even when a star dies
You can see it shine
But it’s only old light
Oh, old light
It’s been dead for a long time
Long time
Long time, time
Stars and love burn bright
Till they’re ready to die
The broken spend their nights
Staring at the sky
If love enters your life
It leaves a mark inside your sky
This will lead you to believe
That it is still alive
But it is just old light
Completing its last flight
Across the velvet night
Stars burn bright till they die
Like love bites in the sky
Love is like starlight
Love is starlight
