Chasing Stars Leads To Broken Hearts

Chasing Stars Leads To Broken Hearts

A Poem by Travis Prino

You fall for everyone you meet

but you're crushed every time they leave

you feel like no one treats you right

you're hoping love will save your life

you crash and burn when things go bad

but by nightfall you forget what you had

in the arms of your next fake someone

who will break your heart just like the rest have done


they say love is forever

but love is a lie

they said love would save her

but love hid from her eyes

and happiness is like cancer

it spreads through your life

but chasing stars leaves you bitter

and a broken heart is all that you'll find


you break down every night alone

from being used and feeling cold

you're sick of being just a s**t

you're searching for more than a f**k

you always cry yourself to sleep

cause no one's ever who they seem

and your trust is on lock and keep

cause you've been hurt repeatedly


they say love is forever

but love is a lie

they said love would save her

but love hid from her eyes

and happiness is like cancer

it spreads through your life

but chasing stars leaves you bitter

and a broken heart is all that you'll find


you've watched as years have passed you by

still there is no one by your side

you think there is someone for everyone

you pray you don't end up on your own

but you know that sex is all they want

no one cares what's deep inside your heart

so you comply with all of their demands

hoping soon you will meet the perfect man


they say love is forever

but love is a lie

they said love would save her

but love hid from her eyes

and happiness is like cancer

it spreads through your life

but chasing stars leaves you bitter

and a broken heart is all that you'll find


as you're reaching up for your dreams

you leave everything in the hands of fate

but you don't make a move for what you want to achieve

it's no wonder why your luck will never change

as you're reaching up for your dreams

you leave everything in the hands of fate

but you don't make a move for what you want to achieve

it's no wonder why your luck will never change


they say love is forever

but love is a lie

they said love would save her

but love hid from her eyes

and happiness is like cancer

it spreads through your life

but chasing stars leaves you bitter

and a broken heart is all that you'll find


you don't understand just how the stars shine

but you'll end up getting burned if you try.
