Stardust

It's a little past eight as I pick up the phone
and I dial the number to reach you at home.
When I start to stutter, I try to break through
so that I can be open about me to you.

And the stars fall from the sky
Getting stardust in my eyes

As I say who I am, you don't want to believe.
The forgotten old lie you try to retrieve.
I'm tired of hiding, I'm tired of lies,
I'm just so damned tired as I close my eyes.

And the stars fall from the sky
Getting stardust in my eyes

I bare my soul to you, and you talk of God,
Of how my existence is hopelessly flawed,
I should beg for forgiveness, as though it's a sin
To finally belong in the body I'm in.

And the stars fall from the sky
Getting stardust in my eyes

You look at me now and you say i'm not right
As you tenderly lift up my head on its pike
And you say that you love me but now i can see
That the person you loved never really was me.

And the stars fall from the sky
And the tears fall from my eyes
