You struck a match and made some light
That flickered and echoed through the night
Don’t you know that you shouldn’t play with fire?
It lit up your face with promises
You were holding gold and treasure in your hands
Your beauty is something I can’t comprehend
But you’ve made your bed now go and sleep with him
Out in the dark, you shimmered and you shone, you lit a spark
Just like a shooting star
Out in the dark, you shone so wide
'Till you turned around and flickered out of sight
They say the dead stars always burn so bright
You’ve been gone for months but you still burn in my mind
Out in the dark, you shimmered and you shone, you lit a spark
Like wise men through Bethlehem, you, we grew apart
You’re just like a shooting star
