A/N: A middle of the night song, when I'm counting the stars. Just a conversation we usually have.
---------------------------------------------
Verse 1:
Fallen on my knees,
Face stained with tears
It's been years
since I last saw
a shooting star
among the scars
A speck of hope,
A ray of light,
A form of escape
To fly away,
to leave this place,
but it's too late
Chorus:
The things I say
they come to play
and I'm falling away
The words that flow
they say "we know"
and then they go
I stay awake,
my shoulders quake,
Counting the stars,
but they're too far
Verse 2:
Lying in my bed,
Thoughts crowding my head
there was so much I could've said
instead of "no"
instead of "so"
and there I go
Up in the sky
the stars, they shine
They know it's time
to run away,
to leave this place,
but it's too late
Chorus:
The things I say
they come to play
and I'm falling away
The words that flow
they say "we know"
and then they go
I stay awake,
my shoulders quake,
Counting the stars,
but they're too far
Bridge:
The stars, they call,
They saw it all
Every fall
I've had
The way I cried,
The way I lied,
The ways I've died
every single day
Now they know,
They've seen the show,
but it's too late
Chorus:
The things I say
they come to play
and I'm falling away
The words that flow
they say "we know"
and then they go
I stay awake,
my shoulders quake,
Counting the stars,
but they're too far
Coda:
Now they know,
They've seen the show
but it's too late...

PoetryFrom time to time, I'll write a song, and I'll hope that someone will read it. So I crammed them all in a book and put it up on the internet. Your choice of course, do whatever you'd like, you could always go on or leave it. But here they are, if yo...
