Did you think, did you hope
things would get better?
Did you cry, did you beg
because they never did?
Where is the tide, where is the sea?
Something is missing here.
You turn to ask me is it gone,
has it disappeared?
The days and nights did come and go -
spinning and changing.
Did you miss the broken shards
that lined your path ahead?
Where is the light, where is your star?
Something is missing here.
You turn to ask me is it gone,
has it disappeared?
Never the same again!
Yes I know
we had the perfect life.
It didn't go too far
You're who's missing now
Yes I know
we had the perfect life
and it hurts to say
it's over now.
You want out, want to go back
and start over again.
You stop and close your eyes and breathe,
but not a thing has changed.
Where is that night, where's the way back,
how far ahead?
How far ahead is it
to get back to our past?
The light has burnt out -
hard to comprehend.
And you watch helplessly
as the clock still turns.
Then you see your star -
no one can touch it now.
Because at least for a while,
we had the perfect life.
