lyrics

fireflies are out and I'm awake
because you said you loved me today
but don't you see it's hard for me
I'm torn up inside

don't say those words
they are like stars
here every night
don't say those words
when I asked you not
to give me stars

you're giving me stars
and I don't want them from you

fireflies are out and I'm entranced
the way they light their bodies up and dance
I wish I knew how to fly
I wouldn't be here tonight

don't say those words
they are like stars
here all the time
don't say those words
when I asked you not
to give me stars

you give me stars

fireflies are out and I'm afraid
'cause they're the light in the dark but they won't stay
I know they'll leave
I know you'll leave me someday

don't say those words
three little words
three stars in my sky
don't say those words
when I asked you not
to give me stars

if you don't believe in the night.
