To me, it looks like she has written two completely songs but then just put them together,
one half of the song( the first half) i think could be about someone called Suzie? wanting respect from everyone so thinks that she will get it by lying about a murder, so that they feel like a heroine to everyone else maybe? But in reality people know shes lying as the person they are accusing would never murder a man with a broken heart.
-I think that may be what that part of the song means, even though that interpreation may be too obvious.
I think the second half is about someone being deeply in love with a person, but even their love cant keep the couple together which i think 'burn bright till they die' means, that all relationships will die down eventually.
I also think that 'the broken spend their lives staring at the sky' may be about unrequited love, or people not accepting that the relationhip they were in has ended.
I think that 'old light' is a reference to old relationships, meaning that even though they have ended, they will always have good memories.
I think 'love is starlight' is a reference to how we see a person that we are in love with, we see them as perfect, flawless, amazing, like a light is being shined especially on them and noone else.
I also think that the moral of the song may be that in the end relationships arent worth the heartache.
