I picked you up
And set you back up in the sky
A fallen star
My love you've nearly lost all light
I picked you up
I put you underneath my wings
I held you close
And softly you began to sing

I took you home
Sat you down upon the pew
You slept like the dead
Could not take my eyes off of you
I should've known
I should've averted my gaze
Now I'm nearly blind
And I feel nearly twice my age

I fell in love with the setting sun
It fell too fast and I felt alone
But I still had my hope
I smiled at the big unknown
I was too stupid to know
How much God could prove me wrong
Fated lovers never last
I know, I know, I've known all along

I woke to the sound
Of your heart beating in my ears
I felt it deep
Wise, in love, beyond my years
Ignoring the sinking feeling
That this was pre-determined fated to fail
We're still those puppies in love
But now with knives jammed in our tails

Finding Heaven in a beautiful girl
Well that's the biggest ******* lie
Don't tell me I'm taking this too hard
Until you know what its like to want to die
I don't have to miss the way you taste
'Cos I got my lips wrapped around a gun
Fated lovers never last
I know, I know, I've known since I was very young

There was a time
When I had faith in only us
But I got so sick of you, celestial
I wanna watch you crumble into dust
