Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's no secret that the stars
Are falling from the sky
It's no secret that I left you
And still I don't know why
You say the sun is sometimes
Eclipsed by a moon
You know I'd come back, baby
If you gave me some room
[Verse 2]
It's no secret that a friend
Is someone who lets you help
It's no secret that a liar
Won't believe anyone else
They say a secret is something
You tell one other person
What do you think?
Child...
[Verse 3]
Love...shine like a fading sky
She holds one love, the sky
[Verse 4]
A man will beg, a man will crawl
But it's never too late to take his call
It's no secret at all
[Verse 5]
It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
And everyone needs music 'cause everyone needs relief
[Verse 6]
Love...live like a shining star
She calls, the sun will burn
[Verse 7]
A man will rise, a man will fall
From the sheer face of love like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all
[Verse 8]
Love...you shine like a burning star
You're falling from the sky
Tonight...
[Verse 9]
Love...you shine like a burning star
You're falling from the sky
[Verse 10]
A man will rise, a man will fall
(Tonight) From the sheer face of love like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all
[Verse 11]
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
The universe expolded 'cause one man told a lie
Look, I gotta go, yeah, I'm running outta change
There's a lot of things, if I could I'd rearrange
