we used to sit on the roof
and count the stars
talking about my dreams and aspirations
we'd pass the hours

we used to sit on the roof
and count the stars
we'd talk about the little joys in life
and how much we loved ours

we used to sit on the roof
and count the stars
you'd tell me that the night sky reflected our souls
the stars like mirrors, glass shards

we used to sit on the roof
and count the stars
you'd tell me no matter what
you'd never be too far

we used to sit on the roof
and count the stars
now 5 years later
it feels like my heart is behind bars

i sit on the roof
and count the stars
wishing you were here beside me
and not just a collection of memoirs

i sit on the roof
and count the stars
hoping one day,
you'll take me back as yours.
