Amanda Fiddler - Supernova

Maybe it isn't love because you hurt me
Maybe it isn't ours if it's not safe
Maybe it isn't love because I'm walking away from your door with tears on my face
Maybe it isn't love because I'm wounded
From all of the times you said I was not enough
Maybe it isn't love because I trusted you here with my heart and you ground it to dust
Maybe we were something that burned down into nothing more
Than aimless expectations, miscommunications, before
Two planets with orbits as strong as ours
The charts and the maps all said we'd not get far
And you promised together was better than apart
But I never asked for a supernova, just a shooting star
Maybe it wasn't real 'cause you were lying
Trying to make me think that it was fine
Maybe it wasn't real because you told me "there's no use in trying"
I was wasting my time
Maybe I didn't see because we shined so much brighter than any other flame I knew
Or maybe you knew my weakness and twisted it around until I was just left with you
But maybe we were something that burned down into nothing more
Than aimless expectations, miscommunications, before
Two planets with orbits as strong as ours
The charts and the maps all said we'd not get far
And you promised together was better than apart
But I never asked for a supernova, just a shooting star
I'm no expert on the heavens, but I don't think they're meant to burn
For all the times you lent your presence, you meet me now with false concern
Because I know now, I see it, the lies you were weaving
A rope with two strands isn't strong enough
You made friends with my enemies, said no one could love me
How would I have known to call your bluff?
You tore me apart, piece by piece, broke my heart
I'm leaving before you can do worse, because I know
That two planets with orbits as strong as ours
The charts and the maps all said we'd not get far
And you promised together was better than apart
But I never asked for a supernova, just a shooting star
