I thought it was written in the stars,
but down they fell,
while I wasn't looking.
Get ready for impact
because there is no looking back
when they crash.

Sadly I don't have what it takes,
and I haven't got the time
to make these pieces
sparkle and shine
because no matter what I do,
they won't hang the same way
and I don't like impostors.

And please forgive me,
but I don't want to look up and see
our broken memories
hanging over my head
and I don't want to walk around
afraid they might once again,
tumble down
and destroy the new life I've built without you.

So if you don't mind,
I will take the pieces out to sea
throw them overboard
and watch them sink.
Because I can't afford,
to see your face anymore
I won't let myself be afraid
to face a new day
without you.
