Lyrics

She was a star no one could hold cut to the heart and out of control.
Right from the start she broke from the mold, she was the greatest story never told.
When she was gone, we stayed at home watching her story unfolding…

Shooting stars - where do they go when they lose their glow?
Shooting stars - letting them go is as hard as holding.

Who could’ve known they’d find her alone under fallen stones; all they saw were bones.
(When) The reporters were done and the mourners were gone, we were alone as she was.

Shooting stars - where do they go when they lose control?
They fill their arms with something to cope in a world so broken.
Shooting stars letting them go is as hard as holding.
It’s as hard as holding.

All of you mothers all of your fathers tell the kids you love them.
All of your sons and all of you daughters; love is all that matters.

She was the sky, lightning and thunder,
No wonder the universe loved her.
And so did I, I loved her so much…
I wonder if I said it enough.

Shooting stars - where do they go when they lose their glow?
Into the arms of comfort, alone in a world so broken.
And here we are waiting at home with our arms still open.
And now we know, letting them go is as hard as holding.

Shooting stars, they get so far till the world starts calling.
So what do you call a shooting star when the star starts falling?
What do you call a shooting star when the star starts falling?
