I'm drinkin' rain and taking pictures in the dark
With some flowers in my hair and a hole inside my heart
And the hole you left in me is so deep and it's so wide
If you look I think you'll see through right to the other side
Take the stars down that I wished on
Take the stars down from the sky
Take my heart and leave me here but when you go don't say goodbye
I used to wait for trains that never come
I would wait for yesterday but I was waiting for no one
So now I don't look for you to come walking through my door
Those were just the longings of a child who doesn't live here anymore
Take the stars down that I wished on
Take my tears so I don't cry
Take my heart and leave me here but when you go don't say goodbye
So say a prayer for the ones love left behind
Cause a broken heart grown cold is the hardest burden you can find
There's a bottle where god keeps all our tears saved up inside
But it's gonna take a river for all the ones I have cried
With some flowers in my hair and a hole inside my heart
And the hole you left in me is so deep and it's so wide
If you look I think you'll see through right to the other side
Take the stars down that I wished on
Take the stars down from the sky
Take my heart and leave me here but when you go don't say goodbye
I used to wait for trains that never come
I would wait for yesterday but I was waiting for no one
So now I don't look for you to come walking through my door
Those were just the longings of a child who doesn't live here anymore
Take the stars down that I wished on
Take my tears so I don't cry
Take my heart and leave me here but when you go don't say goodbye
So say a prayer for the ones love left behind
Cause a broken heart grown cold is the hardest burden you can find
There's a bottle where god keeps all our tears saved up inside
But it's gonna take a river for all the ones I have cried
