Read the Stars

lyrics

It’s such a shame that a heart breaking
Happens so quietly
If it was loud then everyone around
Could come running
And they’d press the broken parts
‘Til they started to mend
And folks all over town
Would talk about that near-fatal end

They say that two is company
But I’ve never felt so alone
Than when I sat right next to you
After that space had grown
Is this an ending
Or is it a start?
I cannot tell yet
And I don’t know how to read the stars

It’s such a shame that a heart breaking
Happens so subtly
Too bad there’s not some number to call
Ambulance or police
They’d bring their stretchers
And their oxygen
Get that heart somewhere safe
And give it some medicine

What does the future hold?
I can’t see that far
Will this heart beat again?
Oh, I don’t know how to read the stars
Oh, I don’t know how to read the stars
