Star, When They Ask, The Rose, The Same Sunset, That Feeling
Star
Once again I wish on my star
Repeating for the thousandth time
My special silent wish for you
Yet it somehow never came true
I must’ve been wishing on her star
Lost up there in the sky
Because she’s the one that you are with
Or was she the one in your special wish?
But now I know that it’s too late
I guess you can never mess with fate...

When They Ask
I hate it when they ask
"how are you today?"
why do they even bother
they don’t really care
then you gotta tell them
the that everything is fine
when all you really wanna do
is bury under the covers and hide
because you can’t tell them
the truth about your day
you can’t confide in them
you won’t know what to say
so they’ll think the best
and you’ll just have to smile
yet inside you’re torn up
and wanna die for a while
they wouldn’t get it anyways
how could you expect them to?
their life is so perfect
nothing compared to you
but you gotta think
what if they’re torn up inside?
what if they’re just smiling?
what if they just wanna die?
but then again it could be you
looking in from outside
asking yourself "how are you?"
needing to hear you're just fine

The Rose
A blooming rose
with a hidden thorn
became my life
not long ago

The piercing pain
that was awaiting me
was hidden by beauty
and a blinding need

Now it’s uncovered,
its the truth so clear:
there’s no refunds in life--
my thorned rose is here

The Same Sunset
Do you look up at the setting sun
and think of me?
‘Cause when I look up at the settng sun
I think of you.

We are watching the same sunset
do you realize it too?
Though we watch the same sunset
I can’t reach out to you

Do you wish on the same star
and wish for me?
Cause when I wish on a star
I wish for you.

We are under the same stars
you can see them too
And though we aren’t that far apart
I still can’t reach out to you.

That Feeling
You know that feeling
when nothing seems to go right
when you light a candle
after waking up at night
you try to figure it out
analyzing your life
you go at it over and over
looking for a sign
but it seems like a tunnel
with no way out
you cry yourself to sleep
and again you wake up
those dreams are haunting you
you can’t figure out why
so you look into them
but can’t find the sign
you’re back there again
at a past moment in time
knowing what you would do
if you had another try
but you’re stuck in your bedroom
still darkness outide
your candle is still glowing
and your eyes are dry
but there’s still that feeling
and you can’t go back to sleep
you keep thinging about tomorrow
but the future you can’t see
so you surrender to that feeling
you thoughts incomplete
and blowing out the candle
you pray you’ll be able to sleep
