i listened to my heart sink
it wasn't a great sound
why is it that when i start to think
my world turns upside down
there's something about it
that makes me weak in the knee
i don't know how to feel anything
if i could just open my eyes to see
it's not like me it's just a lie
what once was will never stay to be
when i count on that star-infested sky
it's okay for hope to go astray
try to find a better day
hope flies off on it's own and then
we all make excuses that we say
"love" slips off our tongue
too frequent and much too soon
just like the solemn faces
that stand examining the moon
as if we could retrace it
and go back to the truth
is it so much to ask for
when i hear it from afar
just sittin waiting honestly
on that hopeful shooting star
we are all much too blind to see
this world even start to fall apart
