Every time I try and try, try so hard to change your mind,
You come up with twenty different reasons,
And I just can’t seem to find my way around this commotion,
Like an obstacle course of emotion,
Doesn’t seem like any solution,
So I try and remind you of the time,
We sat down on that dim lit bench,
Several hours after dark,
And I’m surprised it felt so magical,
For a typical Portsmouth park,
And with your head upon my shoulder,
I had visions of growing older,
As you’re sitting there I hold you,
Then you looked to the stars and said,
That a shooting star is a sign of love,
But I was never sure of what’s above,
And I guess that I was right,
Cos you’re no longer in my life, oh,
And I guess that I was right,
Cos you’re no longer in my life, oh,
I went out the other night,
Nothing special just a pint or two,
Not expecting any trouble,
Then this guy came and said “Hi, I know your music through my ex,
We broke up the other day”
I said that I’m sorry to hear that mate,
But then I’m shocked to hear your name.
He said “She left me the other day,
She didn’t have much else to say,”
So then I walk in the other direction feeling mucked up and betrayed,
That you never broke it off with me,
You just stopped talking completely,
And starting dating somebody else,
Oh I’m glad I never believed,
That a shooting star is a sign of love,
But I was never sure of what’s above,
And I guess that I was right,
Cos you’re no longer in my life, oh,
And I guess that I was right,
Cos you’re no longer in my life,
Oh I’ll miss our evening walks around this town,
Hand in hand as the sun goes down,
But if all of those moments didn’t mean a thing to you,
Then why the hell should I feel so down and blue,
Cos after all that I can’t believe I never, ever had a clue,
But a shooting star ain’t a sign of love,
And I was never sure of what’s above,
But I’m glad that I was right,
Oh I’m glad you left my life, oooh,
No, a shooting star ain’t a sign of love,
And I was never sure of what’s above,
But I’m glad that I was right,
Oh I’m glad you left my life, oh,
Oh I’m glad that I was right,
Oh I’m glad you left my,
Oh I’m glad you left my life.
