Album: Blueprint

Tinfoil Star

Hold on, this'll only hurt a bit
Found my courage now, I'm finally face to face with it
Rejection broke me down while the dream was growing faint
No choice but to cut you loose, these shoulders couldn't stand the weight

I was scared of almost everything I saw
No second chance would ever come along

You had wandered on empty when the sky became my floor
I gave you everything I had but now you're back for more
Well, you blew in like a storm and then you crept out like a lamb
The tinfoil star had lost its shine so you packed your bags and ran

So close to the ending as it was
Filled my pockets and changed focus to a different cause
The stars you wore for eyes stopped twinkling with time
No choice but to see you free, this fruit was dying on the vine

I was scared of almost everything I saw
Blind to the elegance I knew was wrong
No second chance would ever come along

Oh, a twist of fate
Has made you run away
From the tinfoil star
