Muna O. - Starlight Lyrics

When you say that you love me with all of your heart,
I do not say it back,
I do not say anything.
My body stiffens,
As my spirit descends into nervous fidget,
Casting spells in the cauldron of my mind,
In an attempt to conjure a reply.

When your face contorts into a question,
All I can do is extend my arms,
Make them life rafts,
Pray that this does not sink us.
You see I loved a girl with all my heart once.
She was the first flower to bloom in this garden,
And she was beautiful.

She had nectar swimming in her veins,
And her smile was as bright as starlight,
But such beauty comes at a price,
And she paid it .
I buried a piece of my heart with her.
After that,
I thought I would never love again,

But then I met a boy.
He was a different kind of beautiful.
Like the world at the bottom of a bottle.
We were star cross lovers,
Until the space between us turned into acid.
I came back to earth,
But I left a piece of my heart with him.

What I am trying to say is,
My heart has not been whole for years now.
But I do love you
I love you with all that is left of it,
All that is let of me.
And I don't think I can afford
To give any more of myself away,
So I hope this is enough.
