lyrics

I was heartbroken at 10
When they ended it was not the end
Optimistic as I was
I couldn't believe when they told me
We would all be friends
And the worst part was to choose
Between heroes, two people, too soon
Cursed the starlight
When they tore apart the moon
And the old man drove away slow
Without my say so, so soon
And ruined June

It's astounding what the heart
of a child can withstand
In the body of the boy you plant the man
And my sister never cries
She just lets a little sadness out in every smile
And the last time that I looked in the mirror
Twas clearer to me that I still carry
What that summer did to me
And the monster that they gave me
Still saves me, some way, every day
So I release this to the tide
On the endless dark ocean inside

And the last time that I looked
At the night sky at twilight
I knew I'm the starlight, I am the scarred imperfect moon
And the monster that they gave me still saves me
Some way, every day
