Lyrics

Stood in the rain and watched you go
I feel a lump in my throat
And this is far from joy
I never seemed to learn
That high makes things harder
That high I get from you
I've figured out that joy is not in your arms
I know I'll always ache with an empty heart
I think it's time to run, 'cause I'm seeing stars
I'm seeing stars, watch me fall apart
I think of dying all the time
But I've got joy to take my side
Fear is my favorite ride
I've figured out that joy is not in your arms
I know I'll always ache with an empty heart
I think it's time to run, 'cause I'm seeing stars
I'm seeing stars, watch me fall apart
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
And then you'll see
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
I've figured out that joy is not in your arms
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
I know I'll always ache with an empty heart
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
I think it's time to run, 'cause I'm seeing stars
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
I'm seeing stars, watch me fall apart
