Shooting Star

By DeathSentance

That night as we sat in your car
I glanced up and saw a shooting star
I knew that it had come for me
So i could change what's meant to be
I confessed the awful dream
And how we always yelled and screamed
Then I gave it my request
And told it how I'd do the rest

Oh dearest star from up above
I give this boy my deepest love
My wish I know you'll never guess
Please just know i've done my best

Again I looked into his eyes
He didn't know what I'd seen that night
How I'd dreamed and saw the worst
I had told the star first
I sat down and wrote him a letter
And told him how it would all get better
I'll take his time and he'll take mine
He'll thank the star for it's shine

Oh dearest star from up above
I give this boy my deepest love
My wish I know you'll never guess
Please just know i've done my best

The phone rang so late that night
And what he heard gave him a fright
All that was left was just one note
He wondered what his true love wrote
He read it over as he cried
He couldn't believe that she had died
The note read:
That night as we sat in your car
I glanced up and saw a shooting star
I knew that it had come for me
And now I changed what was meant to be
To this star I had confessed
Then i gave it my request
Because one night I dreamed of your death
So I wanted to take your final breath
I told the star out whole story
Then I told it I was sorry
But I must know that you are safe
And you know I'm in a better place

Oh dearest star give me a knife
I wish to give this boy my life
Let him live on in harmony
Just as I was meant to be
