Do you really think you\x92ll fly on broken wings?
Have you got the strength to race the evening sky?
As nightfall comes, relentless, will you shy away?
The bitter tears that fall, are they your only legacy?

Never really reached the heavens that you yearned for
Potential unfulfilled is what scars your aching heart

Living for the perfect world you dreamed of
Fall and burn, my shooting star, you fall and burn
Your fantasies will never be more than faded hopes
And the love you craved, you find it wasn\x92t answered
Fall and burn, my shooting star, you fall and burn
Too tender for reality, my shooting star

Do you really think you\x92ll fly on broken wings?
The pain of fighting quickly wears you down
A sting of sorrow as you slowly fade away
The vanity of life has lost its hold on your heart

On your knees, hands upraised, you cry the endless why
What hurts the most are the dreams you never realised

Leaving now the perfect world you dreamed of
Fall and burn, my shooting star, you fall and burn
The hopes you nurtured fly from your hands like butterflies
And the love you craved was doomed before the start
Fall and burn, my shooting star, you fall and burn
Too tender for reality, my shooting star

Life marked you, scarred you, carved out your soul
Love hurt you, burned you, still left you wanting more
You cry now, die now, fade away into the dark
Night takes you, hides you under her unlight wings

It weeps your passing, the perfect world you dreamed of
Fell and burned, my shooting star, you fell and burned
Dreams and hopes fade like sand from a broken hour-glass
And the love you craved is wasted and destroyed
Fell and burned, my shooting star, you fell and burned
Too tender for reality, my shooting star
Too tender for reality, my shooting star
Too tender for reality, my shooting star
