Falling Stars I Lyrics

Painted my face to hide the pain

Smiling wide in this endless game

She walked the line so high above

Balancing grace she stole my love

Under the lights the crowd would cheer

But every night I fought the fear

She'd fly so free without a net

A single misstep we can't forget

Now the stars don't shine they only fall

And I'm just a clown left with it all

Her laughter echoes through the air

But now the spotlight's just not there

I watched her fly I watched her break

And every smile was for her sake

She danced on wires I danced with tears

Hiding my heart behind her cheers

The world below seemed far away

Until it crashed down that fateful day

I held my breath but she let go

A final bow the end of the show

The ring is empty but I remain

A painted mask can't hide the pain

Now the stars don't shine they only fall

And I'm just a clown left with it all

Her laughter echoes through the air

But now the spotlight's just not there

I watched her fly I watched her break

And every smile was for her sake

If I could take her place I swear

I'd climb the wire meet her there

But I'm stuck down here with heavy feet

Her ghost walks high where we can't meet

Now the stars don't shine they only fall

And I'm just a clown left with it all

Her laughter echoes through the air

But now the spotlight's just not there

I watched her fly I watched her break

And every smile was for her sake

Underneath these circus lights

A lonely clown endless nights

I still see her in every show

The falling star that couldn't glow
