Shooting Stars, Candles, & Pixie Dust

They always say, when you see a shooting star, to make a wish.
They always say, make a wish, and blow out your candles. It'll come true, if you don't tell.
They always say, wishes come true, with a little pixie dust.

I've tried countless wishing on shooting stars.
I've made the same wish before I blow out my candles for the last 7 freaking years, and I haven't said a word about my wish, to anyone.
I don't believe in pixie dust.

I've tried to wish on shooting stars that you'd come back.
I've wished on my candles 7 years, that you'd come back.
I don't believe in pixie dust.

I guess those shooting stars
I guess those candles I blew out...
Didn't do crap.

Because I'm still here, and you're not.
How does that work?
Oh, I know.

The shooting star must have been taken and
The candles must not have been magical.
I don’t believe in pixie dust.

I get it now…
You're never coming back.

So, I’ll stop wishing on shooting stars
I’ll stop wishing on those candles
And, I don’t believe in pixie dust.

Because you’re never coming back.
