At times I look back
and think I gained more than lost
but as the stars finally come out
one last and only time
I feel much smaller
than I ever thought I would.
And though I wish
you could come back
I think it's much better that you stay gone.

Those words you said
mean less to me now
then they did at first,
when you meant nothing to me.
But I never had a time
when you weren't my entire life.

And now sucking out the freedom I had
to put my arms around you
and say sweet nothings in your ear
just makes me wish that I could run away.
But I know deep down I
would have no where else to go.

I know you keep hearing
how badly I want
to burn those rings
but we both know
that gold.doesn't.melt.
and I haven't even taken it off
since the day I got it
even though
all it represents
are lies.

And I know I should get going
your arms aren't open for me
and your heart isn't mine
nor will it ever be.
But something inside me
says these stars are pointing to you
but I know the brightest star
is the furthest away I could be.

I slept in the sun the other day
I thought I was fine
Everything seemed perfect
Until I had you on my mind.
