Crying in the galaxy

(Verse 1)I hang your old sweaters like art on the wallA gallery curated just for the fallThe rain on the window plays notes on the glassA symphony dedicated to things that passI haven’t moved a single chair from its placeLest I accidentally erase the ghost of your embrace

(Chorus)And it’s a beautiful tragedy, losing my mindIn the trail of the stardust you left far behindI’m romancing the shadow you cast on the floorAnd kissing the wood where you walked through the doorIf heartbreak is poetry, I’ll write a bookAbout the very last glance that you gave when I looked

(Verse 2)The record player skips on the very last line"Forever and ever, your hand inside mine"I don’t lift the needle, I let it just bleedA beautiful loop of the comfort I needPeople say sadness is something to cureBut this grief feels so holy, so heavy, so pure(Chorus)And it’s a beautiful tragedy, losing my mindIn the trail of the stardust you left far behindI’m romancing the shadow you cast on the floorAnd kissing the wood where you walked through the doorIf heartbreak is poetry, I’ll write a bookAbout the very last glance that you gave when I looked

(Bridge)Let the candles burn down to the wax on the plateLet the calendar freeze on our very last dateI am perfectly fine being broken in twoIf the pieces left over are crowded with youIt’s a luxury, really, to ache quite this deepFor a love that was worth every secret I keep

(Chorus)And it’s a beautiful tragedy, losing my mindIn the trail of the stardust you left far behindI’m romancing the shadow you cast on the floorAnd kissing the wood where you walked through the doorIf heartbreak is poetry, I’ll write a bookAbout the very last glance that you gave when I looked

(Outro)So play the sad violins out in the darkAnd leave on the pavement our permanent markA beautiful tragedyA romantic displayI’ll love you in black, and I’ll love you in gray
