Here I fallen down again.

The stars remain above me.

He stood at my door again.

I’ll never take him back.

This world spins so fast.

Sometimes, I slip over its edge.

My dreams fly on wings above.

Still, I find myself living

in sleepless nights.

Chorus:

And love finds me there.

Our lips meet in a heartbeat.

I know what it is to be alive.

Swimming in a thousand dreams

before I wake,

I want love to remain at my side.

He still won’t let me go.

His messages still find me.

His eyes still watch.

His love is a lie,

but it is the truth to him.

And my wings beg to spread.

I need to fly.

Let my hand touch the stars.

Let me feel alive

and no longer caged

in sleepless nights.

Chorus:

Bridge:

In a blink of an eye,

my mystery man fades,

leaving me alone

with the shadow of my ex close,

a man that won’t let me go.

His presence keeps these sleepless nights,

but one day, I will push him away

and take to the stars,

fly to the heavens,

and find you waiting there.

Chorus (repeat twice)

violin plays, followed by piano
