Moon and Stars (I Didn’t Mean To)

I was talking to the Infinite again… Said, “You still hear me, right?” Said, “You still see me… right?” [Verse 1] She showed up like a midnight answer In a world that forgot my name After the silence, after the leaving After love went down in flames I was praying for something holy Just a hand I could finally hold But the light that fell through my window Was somebody else’s soul [Pre-Chorus – rising tension] I didn’t check for a warning sign Didn’t read the sacred lines I just felt alive again… [Chorus – explosive, emotional] I didn’t mean to take his moon and stars I didn’t mean to tear apart the dark I was just reaching for a spark In the wreckage of my heart I didn’t mean to take his moon and stars I didn’t mean to go that far I was praying in the scars I didn’t mean to take his moon and stars [Verse 2] She said she felt like she was drowning Said she hadn’t breathed in years And I saw myself in her silence Felt salvation in her tears But the truth came like a siren Cutting through the sacred lie There was a ring beneath the shadows There was someone on the other side [Pre-Chorus – more desperate] Why’d you send her into my hands? Was this mercy or a test? I was begging just for love… [Chorus – bigger, layered vocals] I didn’t mean to take his moon and stars I didn’t mean to tear apart the dark I was just reaching for a spark In the wreckage of my heart I didn’t mean to take his moon and stars I didn’t mean to go that far Why’d you send a taken heart When mine was torn apart? [Bridge – stripped down, haunting] Why, Lord… why this way? Why send love I cannot stay? I was faithful in the fall Did you hear me at all? I didn’t mean to cross that line I just wanted something mine After she walked away… After she walked away… [Breakdown – whispered → scream build] I didn’t mean to take his moon and stars… (I didn’t mean to…) I didn’t mean to take his moon and stars… [Final Chorus – full scream/anthem release] I DIDN’T MEAN TO TAKE HIS MOON AND STARS I DIDN’T MEAN TO RIP APART HIS HEART I WAS JUST REACHING IN THE DARK FOR A LIGHT, FOR A START I DIDN’T MEAN TO TAKE HIS MOON AND STARS WHY’D YOU SEND HER FROM SO FAR? WHEN MY WORLD WAS TORN APART I DIDN’T MEAN TO TAKE HIS MOON AND STARS [Outro – fading, broken] I didn’t mean to… I didn’t mean to… I was just praying…
