Grace Petrie - Aeroplanes and Stars lyrics

It wasn't all that long ago
That you sat weaving dreams
But things don't look so rosy now
You're this side of eighteen
It wasn't all that long ago you
Gazed up at the stars
And smiled 'cause you know just who you are

Suddenly the good time's gone and
I just don't know why
And where did all the good times go
They never said goodbye
Well there's too much damn pollution here
And I don't see no stars look in the mirror
Say I don't know who you are
But, you've had much colder nights
And things will be alright alright

And is it meant to set me
Free to know you're leaving town?
To have no fear you'll disappear and
I won't see you around
Well it doesn't make me happy and
It doesn't make me smile
Because my heart don't take no
Notice of the miles

And you can call me stupid and
You can call me naïve
But, I don't think that things will
Be that different when you leave
I've had you sitting next to
Me and being miles away
I think I'd be no better
Off if you would stay

If I got down on my knees
Asked you to set me free you'd say no

So take me and break me darling
Do what you will
Feed upon my dignity and leave
Me with the bill if we're honest
You never really did anything else
But, you're my kryptonite and that's
Something I can't help

But, I'll get strong and I'll move
On without too many scars
Learn to tell the difference
Between aeroplanes and stars
You'll get old and still more cold and
See the reason that you hid
Was I loved you in a way that no one did

If I cried my eyes red raw
Till I could cry no more and what for

It wasn't all that long ago
You understood the rules
Of love and life and
Unrequited underdogs and fools
But that was all before the last
Straw left you on the floor
And you don't understand a thing anymore

But, you played the cards you're dealt
However hard it felt
And you smiled into the sky
As you began to cry and you knew why
And you knew why
