I’m guilty of wasting time
staring into your perfect sky
and every word such sweet poetry
and I’m starting to lose my nerve
falling short of what you deserve
just a minor star in your strange astronomy

smiling so no one can tell
would you even get back up if you fell?
would you even try if we told you
this was over?

‘cause you are loved, but it’s not enough
yes you are loved, but it’s not enough
to be distant and adored
you were all these things but
you still wanted more
‘cause you are loved, but it’s not enough

I barely can hold my breath
watch you struggle out of your depth
and every smile so strained and insincere
and well-wishers drawn to your glow
more than willing to let you go
as you break up trailing sparks
through the atmosphere

best of intentions collide
conspiring to keep us safe by your side
but there was no way
this was gonna be forever

(chorus)

I’m guilty of wasting time
left with the story you left behind
like a fairy tale
and it’s all you’ll ever be

(chorus)
