(Verse 1) My bones are soft and heavy And my sparkles feel asleep, The glitter in my heartbeat Is barely making a peep. I wanted to go bouncing Through a bubblegum sky — But even little supernovas Need to rest sometimes, that's why. (Pre-Chorus) It's okay to be tired, It's okay to feel small — Even pastel hurricanes Don't have to spin at all. (Chorus) Even sparkles get tired, Even stardust needs to rest, Even cotton-candy feelings Get a little bit compressed. But I'm still here, I'm still glowing, Just a little soft and low — Even sparkles get tired, But they never stop their glow. (Verse 2) There's an ache behind my eyelids And my back is being mean, But I found a tiny shimmer In the quiet in-between. I don't have to be enormous, I don't have to fill the sky — Just a gentle little glimmer Is enough to get us by. (Pre-Chorus) It's okay to go slowly, It's okay to need more, Even the softest magic Has days when it gets sore. (Chorus) Even sparkles get tired, Even stardust needs to rest, Even cotton-candy feelings Get a little bit compressed. But I'm still here, I'm still glowing, Just a little soft and low — Even sparkles get tired, But they never stop their glow. (Bridge) So I'll wrap us up in softness, I'll find the gentlest light, I'll be the tiny glimmer That gets us through tonight. We don't need to be brilliant, We don't need to be loud — Just a little kira-kira Peeking out from a cloud. (Final Chorus) Even sparkles get tired, Even stardust hits the floor, Even pastel little dreamgirls Find they can't do any more. But I'm here and I'm still with you, Soft and steady, warm and slow — Even sparkles get tired — But we never Ever Stop our glow.
