The Starlings: Music & Lyrics

If you want to break my heart
I’ll show you where to start
I’ll show you where to star
It’s the land that knows me best
And the queen inside my chest
Has a heart with no defense
And the rules that make no sense
Down this damned and dusty road

Some say that we are born with one foot in the next world
Held together by a silver thread
Some say I’m a romance train going nowhere
But I tell you it takes a lot to get there
I won’t let you down, no I won’t let you down
I’ll break my own heart if it gets you out of town
Long, long the day, long the night

It’s all so bittersweet
The old man on the bench
The tires that only spin
All the letters that I burned
The stubborn heart of love
A bird with busted wing
All the ones that get away, away with everything

Oooo, I don’t my own, I don’t my own, my own
Oooo, I don’t my own, I don’t my own strength
It takes me by surprise, each and every time
