Star Crossed

She caught me when I’m most vulnerable

In the English winter: she’s the poison I picked

And just because I knew what she was like

Didn’t mean I wasn’t willing to be her addict

Oh no, It’s the Star that came to cross us

Oh no, It’s the Star that came to cross us

I’ve been hungry since but she’ll never know

Even though I’m the king of open books

And I’m sure she’s the puppeteer of all these tricks

But it doesn’t matter ‘cause I’m happy I’m hooked

Oh no, It’s the Star that came to cross us

Oh no, It’s thе Star that came to cross us

And I’m hooked

I know what you are: you’rе not my armour

I’ve seen what you are and I’m not afraid to be it

But, oh God, I’m still starving after you

Oh God, I’m still starving after you

Oh no, It’s the Star that came to cross us

Oh no, It’s the Star that came to cross us

And I’m hooked
