Burn Brighter

I'm stuck here with a pen in my hand With no words to write It seems like all of my thoughts Are trying to hide Baby I don't want to hurt you Is what they would say And I don't want to leave you But I can't stay Like the stars in outer space Way beyond this town You and I were on fire But we burnt to the ground I want you to shine in the night Without me pulling you down Because I know you will burn brighter If I'm not around There are so many things That I could say Like I knew that this was love As soon as it hurt this way But you and I are on different roads Pretending they're the same Maybe they will cross And we will meet again Like the stars in outer space Way beyond this town You and I were on fire But we burnt to the ground I want you to shine in the night Without me pulling you down Because I know you will burn brighter If I'm not around I will always think of you babe With every star in the night When I want to see your face I just look up and watch you shine Like the stars in outer space Way beyond this town You and I were on fire But we burnt to the ground I want you to shine in the night Without me pulling you down Because I know you will burn brighter If I'm not around
