• I'm always staring at nothing
    Daydreamin' of starlit nights
    My fingers were curled up in his
    His face lit up by moonlight

    I was happy just seeing him smile
    I loved being lost in his eyes
    Every minute with him was worth while
    That boy made my temperature rise

    But he started becoming distant
    And he'd never answer my calls
    When I wanted to see him he was never around
    It was driving my heart up a wall

    but one night he came to see me
    His eyes were tired and blue
    He told me that he wasn't happy
    And that me and him were through

    I went home that night alone
    And for weeks on end I cried
    Until his mother visited me
    and told me my lover had died

    she said the times i called with no answer
    and the times he was never around
    was because his doctors found cancer
    and he didnt want me to break down

    With a sob she gave me a letter
    On the front he had scrawled my name
    he had written it so i might feel better
    and inside i could sense my boy's shame

    He wrote that he was sorry
    and he's loved me with every breath
    he had left me to protect me
    because a break up is easier than death

    He added that he would be waiting
    and that the next words were from his heart
    "I guess you could say I'm still living,
    because you were my life from the start"

    I felt like a weight had been lifted
    Though without him ill never feel right
    and despite the fact we're apart
    I'm still with him on those starlit nights.
