These days go by oh so fast
In the blink of an eye, a minute replaces the last
But I'm still here, my toes in the sand
As I stand watch the tides wash away all that has been
And I've always wondered why the starfish never cry
When each moment that goes by brings changes to their life
Or rather, why do I?

'Cause I need love
I need a hand
I need someone to come and hold this heartbroken man
I need trust
In an uncharted land
Oh, someone please help me to understand
Why I feel so alone again
Oh, oh, oh

Hello, old friend
What's got you down?
Oh, nothing, it's just not the same when you're not around
Oh no that's sad
Wish I could assist
No I can't stay oh but I hope it gets better than this
(Wait, before you go)
Have you ever wondered why the starfish never cry
When each moment that goes by brings changes to their life?
Or rather, why do I?

'Cause I need love
I need a hand
I need someone to come and save this heartbroken man
I need trust
In an uncharted land
Oh, someone please come and help me to understand
Why I feel so alone again

Alone again
And if distance makes stronger, why does it feel so bad?
Alone again
Alone again
And if joy's coming tomorrow, tell me when will this night end?

Here I am as I take my rest
I just pray that you're right, I hope it gets better than this
