Falling Star
Lowe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've got to tell me now
If there's a way for us
You've got to show me how
I've never felt so lost

I thought I had it all
Thought I'd figured it out
When I see you fall
You get rid of my doubt
When you release me
I know who you are
My falling star

Your absence
Is clearly what is left for me
Your absence
Is slowly killing me

My falling star
That's who you are
My falling star

If you could see me now
I guess you never did
If you could be here now
It's so hard to forgive





[Bridge repeat]
[Chorus repeat]
