Count Your Own Stars (έκδοση 2)

Intro

Let me tell you a story

Verse

Packed my bag on a morning like this

Faded coffee in the cup I missed

You were sleeping, eyes closed tight

Counting down till I'm gone, out of sight

I took the stairs instead of the elevator

Watched the numbers ticking over

Every door we passed was one more goodbye

Not a funeral march but a sign that it's alright

Pre-Chorus

And your voice still lingers in my ears

Whispering reasons I should stay and dry these tears

But something inside is spreading wide

Like a fire burning through every wall I tried to hide

So let the clock keep ticking up on five

I've got one more minute left to breathe

One last breath before the door swings open

And I'm free of everything but you

Chorus

Count your own stars, don't count mine

Watch me go and find a light that's just divine

Count your own stars, don't wait for me

I'll rise up in the dark where only we used to be

Count your own stars, watch me fly

Every heartbeat now belongs to you and the sky

Verse

Barefoot on the sidewalk, feeling alive

Not running from what's left but running into what I'll survive

You stood in the doorway with a smile so thin

Watching shadows grow longer than we ever were within

I said your name out loud but only for myself

Trying to convince you that you're still the one who'd be best

But it was just my lungs saying what they'd miss

Not asking you to leave, just telling us both to kiss goodbye

Pre-Chorus

And your voice still lingers in my ears

Whispering reasons I should stay and dry these tears

But something inside is spreading wide

Like a fire burning through every wall I tried to hide

So let the clock keep ticking up on five

I've got one more minute left to breathe

One last breath before the door swings open

And I'm free of everything but you

Chorus

Count your own stars, don't count mine

Watch me go and find a light that's just divine

Count your own stars, don't wait for me

I'll rise up in the dark where only we used to be

Count your own stars, watch me fly

Every heartbeat now belongs to you and the sky

Bridge

Maybe love is not about who stays behind

Maybe it's about the stars that keep us aligned

If I could turn back time and ask you to come with me

I think you'd say no, let go of your own melody

So don't be sad, just watch me climb so high

Count every star that we used to share but never saw in the sky

Chorus

Count your own stars, don't count mine

Watch me go and find a light that's just divine

Count your own stars, don't wait for me

I'll rise up in the dark where only we used to be

Count your own stars, watch me fly

Every heartbeat now belongs to you and the sky

Outro

One last look at your sleepy face

Count every star that's yours, not mine in this place

Count your own stars.

I'm watching you from the sky

Where only we used to fly
