Stars and Tears, Who are Always There

Now that I’m leaving

You don’t tolerate me being me

 

Mom and dad you’re like my stars

So far and eternities away..unlike stars

You aren’t always there

 

Me, my words, my heart misses the people

We used to be

 

Mom and dad, I want your presence like the tears in my eyes

Special, and always there

 

Mom and dad, I love you

But I ain’t sure, if my love’s true

Ain’t sure, if our sail makes up a good crew

Ain’t sure, if we’ll still hold up our hue

 

Even the pages of our life refuse to flip on the next

Every second we spend crinkles like a chevy Neg

 

Prims flash our faces, coz we don’t get along

Every step we move goes too wrong

All that binds us is a short narrow thong

 

Can we that break tonight?

Contrary feelings, let’s break that chain?

 

Let’s bring our stars and tears, who’re always there

Goodbye..to all those days we shared

To all the tears that had been shed
