You said you would capture the stars for me
And thread them on Midas's string.
You said I should wear it around my neck,
That it would complement my eyes.
But they were empty promises,
Spoken with the tongue of a false love.
That necklace would look out of place now anyway.
When you left you stole the sparkle from my eyes
And placed them in a safe with my heart
And your soul.
And thread them on Midas's string.
You said I should wear it around my neck,
That it would complement my eyes.
But they were empty promises,
Spoken with the tongue of a false love.
That necklace would look out of place now anyway.
When you left you stole the sparkle from my eyes
And placed them in a safe with my heart
And your soul.
