Lyrics:
You left the string lights twinkling like stars
I tried to navigate by where you are
It hurts to stay close, to keep distance from you
I'm not scared of hard things, but which one to do
Cause I've spun in circles since you killed the magnetic field
I can't find the dipper, I'm stuck with the sword and the shield
I wish I had something that wasn't a blade in my belt
I've been lost since I cut out the love that I felt
Orion, I'm trying my best
He says to keep searching
I just want to rest
I loved you way more than enough
And we had the world but
You still wanted stardust
We had the world but
You still wanted stardust, mm
You left the string lights tangled in knots
I won't replace all the floor lamps you bought
I know that you're gone but I'm not ready yet
It hurts to remember, it's worse to forget
How I spun in circles just trying to give you your space
But all you could see was me dizzy and running in place
I wish I had somewhere to turn to that wasn't the sky
He points out where you went but he won't tell me why
Orion, I'm trying my best
He says to keep searching
I just want to rest
I loved you way more than enough
And we had the world but
You still wanted stardust
Oh stardust, it's all in the name
The sparkle has faded
But we're made of the same
Oh and I loved you
I wish that was enough
But you only saw world where
I could see stardust
You only saw world where
I could see stardust, mm
