Hold me close and never let me go, please tell me all the things that I should know, please I used to shine so bright, I lit the night, I was the light in every midnight sky Hold me close and tell me not to fear, please tell me all the things I want to hear, please I used to have such wings, I used to sing I was the ring on planets in other universes other than here I was a star, I fell so far, I did it all for you I gave my grace, I gave my face, I did it all for you all for you, all for you now, all for you so teach me how to be someone like you, please I am so lost so tell me what to do, please I used to know my part, knew where to start but now my heart is empty oh fill it, please I was a star, I fell so far, I did it all for you I gave my grace, I gave my face, I did it all for you all for you, all for you now, all for you so don’t pretend that I’m the same as I once was just hold me a little bit tighter now and kiss me because I was a star, I fell so far, I did it all for you I gave my grace, I gave my face, I did it all for you all for you, all for you now, all for you I was a star, I fell so far, I did it all for you I gave my grace, I gave my face, I did it all for you all for you, all for you now, all for you all for you

I said, “I don’t alway say the right thing” he said, “I know” I said, “I really need a drive” he said, “let’s go” “I’m not good,” I said, “I’m dirt” He said, “can’t you see? you’re fields and hills and mountains, Dean, you are the world to me” He was the best, he was the best of anyone and now he’s gone and I’m supposed to just forget him and carry on but my fields are dead and empty I fell asleep in my car the earth sits still in darkness ‘cause it’s missing it’s missing a star I said, “I don’t always do the right thing” he said, “don’t cry” I said, “when you come back, will you teach me the sky? ‘Cause I have lived my life afraid to take to air but I think I would be all right if you were there” you were the best, you were the best of anyone you can’t be gone ‘cause I can live without you but it feels wrong I lie on my back and think of you and how you can’t be far the earth is cold tonight because it’s missing it’s missing a star I said, “I don’t always know the right thing” but I am sure that you and I cannot be over there must be more during the day the stars are there just hidden out of view they won’t come out until the night Cas, I will wait for you you were the best, you were the best of anyone I know you’re there I used to be so mad at you now I don’t care I just want you here beside me everything that you are of all the constellations you’re the brightest you’re my favorite star
