Mending Stars

I’m staring at the pieces, scattered in the dark
Trying to find the moment when we fell apart
You’re looking through me like I’m not even there
I’m shouting for connection, but you don’t seem to care
I can’t make you feel, I can’t make you see
The way your silence keeps on breaking me
I can only hold what I can’t control
But you’re the missing half of my soul

I don’t understand why love’s not enough
Why every word feels heavy, why it’s all so tough
I wish we could meet in the middle somehow
But I’m losing myself just trying to figure this out
I don’t understand why we’re here again
Why we keep on fighting just to lose in the end
I’m tired, I’m broken, I’m lost in the pain
And I don’t understand why it’s always the same

I’ve begged for you to see the world through my eyes
But every time I ask, you just run and hide
I’m not the villain, I’m not your excuse
I just wanted a love that wouldn’t cut me loose
You deserve the world, you deserve the best
But I can’t keep giving when there’s nothing left
I wish my heart could fix the space in between
But love alone can’t fix what love can’t mean

I don’t understand why love’s not enough
Why every word feels heavy, why it’s all so tough
I wish we could meet in the middle somehow
But I’m losing myself just trying to figure this out
I don’t understand why we’re here again
Why we keep on fighting just to lose in the end
I’m tired, I’m broken, I’m lost in the pain
And I don’t understand why it’s always the same

I can’t make you see, can’t make you believe
I can only love you even if I have to leave
I wish I could fix this, but I don’t know how
I just don’t understand, guess I’m learning now

I don’t understand why love’s not enough
Why every word feels heavy, why it’s all so tough
I wish we could meet in the middle somehow
But I’m losing myself just trying to figure this out
I don’t understand why we’re here again
Why we keep on fighting just to lose in the end
I’m tired, I’m broken, I’m lost in the pain
And I don’t understand why it’s always the same

And I don’t understand why it’s always the same
