lyrics

(Florence Welch):
A falling star fell from your heart
And landed in my eyes
Fell from your heart
And landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them
And now it’s left me blind

You were that girl that was so mysterious
Saw you across that cafeteria
Didn’t really care a lot about high school, all I knew was that I really had to be with ya
And I had a class or two with ya
Didn’t think you’d ever notice me
But you sat next to me in geography, and gave me chills when you talked to me
But I was kinda shy, not the kinda guy that you wanted
And it haunted me the entire time, figured I would try to go and write a rhyme
So I came up with a plan
Late nights writing with a pen in hand
Wrote you a song and I played it for you, in a way you might have been my first fan
Yeah and it sent a message, to your ears straight from my face
Told you how I felt and you sent me a message too, but it was on MySpace
Well that’s great, you didn’t want me, so I guess that I learned my lesson
Never tell a girl you wanna be with her, when she already wants your best friend

Heard your heart beating, you were in the… (x3)

Fast forward, two more years, I stayed in the friend zone way too long
Watching you date every guy in the world and they always did you wrong
But you never would advance to
And new stage with me, no chance with you
So I lied about myself, and acted different, until the lies all became truth
But it worked and I changed myself to fit your standard of what you needed
I was happy to be with you, even when my authenticity depleted
I hated myself but I really liked you, thought it might be forever
And we had chemistry together, and we even had chemistry together
Didn’t pay any attention in class, I just kept up my bravado
My obsession with you was constant, you could call that Avogadro
That day when you left I was heartbroken, never felt such pain before
It was cruel but it gave me a chance to be true to myself and that’s something I’m grateful for

Heard your heart beating, you were in the… (x2)

It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay
Never thought I’d like you so much
But it’s way, but it’s way, but it’s way
In the past like the Jonas Brothers
So stay away, stay away, stay away
If you’re gonna keep being mean
I don’t need any
Negativity
So just flee from me
It’s okay
But I really hope you have a nice day
