I've given everything that I could give, lived a life that I shouldn't live
And all I ever got in return was starlight
I caught the warmth a million years too late; the star's dead at any rate
About as useful as the moon during daylight
When I thought I had it all, I saw the clouds part and watched you fall
Down, down, down, down, down
The atmosphere was harsh on you
Your heart shrunk with the rest of you
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready
I make a wish on a shooting star; I call my dreams out from afar
And now you're down here in my arms, precious starlight
Your journey down cracked the black sky; your tears well up and you start to cry
This time I'll break the night and bring you daylight
When you thought you had nothing at all, the clouds burst and you heard me call
Up, up, up, up, up, up
A trail of smoke as you hit the ground
I've never heard a more painful sound
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready
I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready
I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready
I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready
I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready
