Every time
you look at me
i just know

that i might not be
all the things you had hoped for
it shows

there are stars over the city tonight
you're somewhere out there
on the streets i see cars passing by
i feel you are near

i know what i do
is something you'd never
do

but don't ask me to change
this is what i am here for
i sing my songs for you

the skyline is so sharp tonight
it cries out for more
the person that you knew before
i'm not the same anymore

there are stars over the city tonight ...

sometimes i'm too proud
to say i desperately need you
i don't want you to go

and sometimes it's you
you don't say that you love me
but i know
