Of all the things I believed in.
I just want to get it over with.
Tears form behind my eyes.
But I do not cry.
Counting the days that pass me by.

I've been searching deep down in my soul.
Everything I'm hearing is just starting to get old.
It feels like I'm starting all over again.
The last three years were just pretend.

And I said, Goodbye to you.
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew.
You were the one I loved,
the one thing that I tried to hold on to.

Closing my eyes, you chase any bad thoughts away.
To a place where I am blinded by the light.
Our own paradise. But it's not right.
And it hurts to want everything & nothing at the same time.

I want what's yours and I want what's mine.
I want you, but the distance is just too far this time.
Goodbye to you. Goodbye to everything I thought I knew.
When the stars fall I will lie awake. You're my shooting star.
