Rating: G
Summary: You're my shooting star.
Genre(s): General
of all the things i've believed in
i just want to get it over with
tears form behind my eyes but i do not cry
counting the days that pass me by
Everything's blending together - minutes, hours, days: years. I feel so lost now, and there's nothing I can do about it. My lifeline has disappeared, changed - I've got nothing to hold onto.
i've been searching deep down in my soul
words that i'm hearing are starting to get old
it feels like i'm starting all over again
the last three years just pretend and i said
Nothing's making sense anymore. Everything that I had- Everything that was real- The definitions have changed once again. Whatever existed... Gone. Swept away. What happened?
goodbye to you
goodbye to everything i thought i knew
you were the one i loved
the one thing that i tried to hold onto
This year will be completely different from anything i've ever known - anything we've ever known. You can feel that, can't you? Already - hardly anything is the way it used to be.
i still get lost in your eyes
and it seems that i can't live a day without you
closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
to a place where i am blinded by the light
but it's not right
You were my lifelines. Did you know that? The most amazing people in my world. Problem is - I'm not sure where I can turn anymore: We're all drifting.
goodbye to you
goodbye to everything i thought i knew
you were the one i loved
the one thing that i tried to hold onto
I don't know where I stand. That scares me. That I can't eb sure what I'm standing on - that scares me too. Isn't anything stable anymore?
and it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
i want what's yours and i want what's mine
i want you but i'm not giving in this time
I know things change. I know they can't stay the same, and that they can't go back to the way they were. So why do I want it to be that way? Because it was so comfortable - you always made me feel so safe. Always.
goodbye to you
goodbye to everything i thought i knew
you were the one i loved
the one thing that i tried to hold onto
the one thing that i tried to hold onto
I thought I needed you. I still do. But when I can't rely on anything - What's a girl to do?
and when the stars fall i will lie awake
you're my shooting star
