You put the stars in my sky You made flowers grow in my lungs You nearly made me blind making the sun shine so brightly But I can't breathe And I'm so exhausted spending my nights awake looking up at the moon I am a winter person prepared for the cold My skin doesn't know how to accept the warmth of the sun And I don't know how to tell you Just how much I love you And I forever will Because you made me see that even my darkest nights carry the hope of a new morning But you can't be my home because people leave And I will be empty in the streets Wishing I could spend a night in your arms But I will love you forever Because you put the stars in my sky And you made flowers grow in my lungs But I am so tired And I can not breathe I am so sorry that I have to leave.

4am and you've not been around for a while
You put the stars in my sky You made flowers grow in my lungs You nearly made me blind making the sun shine so brightly But I can't breathe And I'm so exhausted spending my nights awake looking up at the moon I am a winter person prepared for the cold My skin doesn't know how to accept the warmth of the sun And I don't know how to tell you Just how much I love you And I forever will Because you made me see that even my darkest nights carry the hope of a new morning But you can't be my home because people leave And I will be empty in the streets Wishing I could spend a night in your arms But I will love you forever Because you put the stars in my sky And you made flowers grow in my lungs But I am so tired And I can not breathe I am so sorry that I have to leave.
