I’m so tired
Of standing
On this empty shore

The tide
Once so strong
So long ago

Now an ocean
Dried and gone
Sand blown away

And here I stand
On this beach
With nothing left

But broken memories
Shattered dreams
And jaded love

When you gaze
Up into the night
Do you think about
At all the stars
We used to watch
Together

Do you count them
And think of the times
Our fingers locked
All the caresses
We used to share

Or do you count
All the opportunities
That we’ve missed
All the nights
We’ve been apart
All the kisses
We never had

Or do you look
Up into the night
Without me
Slipping
Through your heart
And through your mind

Have the stars
Seemed to dim
Now that we’re apart
Or do the stars still shine
Just as bright
Now that we’re done
