Supernova

(Verse 1)

I used to burn quiet, alone in the dark

A small fading ember, a cold little spark

But you came like gravity pulling me in

And suddenly, slowly, I started to spin

(Pre-Chorus)

You lit up the space where my shadows would stay

And I swear I got brighter a little each day

(Chorus)

But I’m a supernova,

and I don’t last long

I burn a little too fiercely,

I love a little too strong

When I finally shine,

it all breaks apart

Supernovas die brightest

with a collapsing heart

(Verse 2)

You held me together when I came undone

But stars have a limit to how close you can come

I warned you I’d shatter, I warned you I’d fall

But you stayed in my orbit in spite of it all

(Pre-Chorus)

Now I’m tearing myself just to keep you in sight

But I can’t be gentle—

I only explode when I try to be light

(Chorus)

’Cause I’m a supernova,

I burn out too fast

A flash in your sky

That was never meant to last

If I crash into darkness,

please know it was true

Every piece that breaks off

still belongs to you

(Bridge)

Some stars get reborn

but I don’t think I will

I left all my light

in your chest when I stood still

If you look to the heavens

and see something glow

It’s only the ghost

of the girl you let go

(Final Chorus)

I’m your supernova—

I loved you too bright

And now I’m collapsing

alone in the night

If you ever miss me,

just follow the sparks

Supernovas fall slowly

while breaking your heart
