I'm alone again

With nothing but the stars.

It's how it was back then

And I guess it's how my life turned out

Nobody cared for me.

I had no one there.

So if make the most of it.

And speak to the stars.

They always answered, never ignored me

They loved me and cherished me.

During the winters it was too cold to go out.

In the spring they'd ask about me

I'd ask how they were.

Occasionally one burnt out,

We'd mourn the loss and celebrate the new.

One time I asked how many there were

They said not even they knew.

They were always there

When people turned their backs

I'd turn to them

And they had my back.

I'd lie in the field on the hillside.

We'd speak of frivolous things

And I'd tell them everything I kept inside

It seemed they understood.

Much more than you'd assume they would.

They were always there for me.

And told me if I ever need them.

They'd be waiting, and they'd stay eternally.

So here I am tonight

Everything is wrong.

Nothing is right.

I lie on the same hillside.

I spill everything to them.

And they comforted me as I cried

It was calming

Nothing but the stars and me.

The only friends I'd ever need
