lyrics

we saw it together
we both watched it fall
but i didn't wish on that star
no, no nothing at all

so far down
in the deep and the dark
blacker than black
couldn't see the spark

i didn't wish
there was no point
i didn't wish
no i didn't wish

you crossed your fingers
i know that you did
it's what you do
it's all in your bid…

…to make it all better
not throw it away
you make me wonder
but what can i say?

i didn't wish
i don't have it in me
i didn't wish
no i didn't wish

you pull the wishbones
and every time you sneeze
you whisper the words that get snatched by the breeze
but me i'm struck dumb
there's no words to say
coz all of my wishes have been blown away

believe me it's true
that i hope and i pray
that all of your wishes
are answered one day

but i never wish
they never come back
no i never wish
no i never wish
