Underneath the Stars

by Stef   Jul 7, 2005


Lying in the grass, staring up at all the stars
You're wondering if I see them too, or if I'm too far
With tears in your blue eyes, making them turn grey
To the clouds you speak words that to me you couldn't say.

You tell them that you miss me, and that you know you're wrong
You say how hurt you are even though it's your fault I'm gone
You whisper quietly all the words you knew I wanted to hear
And you take back your goodbye, and you shed another tear.

You swear that you love me more than anyone ever will
And even if I'm not with you, you'll always love me still
And if you never see me again, you just wish I knew
That you would give most anything to have me back with you.

And while you're staring at the stars a million miles away
I'm lying underneath them too, with nothing left to say
With my broken heart beside me, and your letter in my hand
I'm still piecing it together, trying to understand.

It's been days since I last saw you, months since we last touched
And even though I shouldn't, I miss you way too much
And while I'm wishing I were with you, but knowning I can't be
I would give anything to know that you're thinking of me.

I have no more tears to cry, for I've cried non-stop for weeks
It's been awhile since I've woken without tearstains on my cheeks
And it hurts t breathe without you, and it hurts to love you now
But it's the way I've got to live, and I've got to move on somehow.

So we're miles apart, and both wishing things would change
But I'm too afraid to call, and you're just too ashamed
You believe I hate you and that I have some other boy
And I believe you played me and that I was just your toy.

Lying in the grass, we're both underneath the stars
Reaching out my hand, I hope to hold on to where you are
And you reach way up too, but we both only find sky
But I guess that's just what happens when you don't really mean goodbye.
