A sea of stars shines when you sing

Sweet strawberries sprout where you spring

You're sugar & salt & the sunrise

Hypnotize me with your starry eyes

Just to look into them with my own

Is something that I've never known

I can't bear to keep being alone

& I just want to call you my own

But you aren't in love, my love

You aren't in love with me

& I can't make it happen

I can't make it be

& you don't know just how much I need you

It's in these lines that you'll never see

Strawberry-flavored words, I swallow them & make myself sick

When I stare at you it dilates my star-shaped irises

But you don't even know that I'm looking, you don't know that I'm longing

& so you don't know that I'm lying

When I say that I haven't been crying

But I want to keep you guiltless

It's not your fault that I'm like this

You don't deserve to be sad

Over feelings that you never had
