Burnt out Stars Lyrics

Burnt Out Stars
They all say she’s shy and quiet,
But she’s screaming from inside…
Still shackled to those memories sewn from all the ties that bind
And that sweet scent of her sentiment is slowly turning sour
And her poor heart just keeps crumbling, one more piece to be devoured
And those stars keep burnin’ out…with every wish spewed from her mouth
And her child-like inner beauty hides the scars you’ll never see…
She screams in whispers as the world falls back to sleep.
As tailor to her failures, she’s stitching up a storm
Her future freshly sutured, as she sheds the past she’d worn
She’ll just wait for one more Romeo to sweep her off her feet
Though deep down, she just knows he’ll be another she won’t keep
Her reflection’s stare keeps hardening,

But she doesn’t care to mind
The dice are getting loaded with the boys with lying eyes
But her beaten heart keeps ticking,
Like the clock keeps wasting time on goodbyes
