There's a boy who waits by the front door
For his father to return
But he's not coming home tonight
There's a girl who prays all through the night
For her mother to get better
But her prayers aren't answered
Cause' when your stars don't align
And the innocent mind cries
When you place your heart in the hands of another
It's hard to gain trust when it breaks
One after another
And he's not like a father to him
He wanders through the night sky
Pretending that it's alright
But never will his father come home
And she's not like a mother to her
She lost her at 19, stays up all night crying
Her last goodbyes echo in her soul
The months pass and he's still all alone
But he knows that everything will soon get better
It has to get better
And she knows that life's too short
To live in fear like the world is caving in
Yeah, she knows that life's so much more than this
Cause' when your stars don't align
And the innocent mind cries
When you place your heart in the hands of another
It's hard to gain trust when it breaks
One after another
And he's not like a father to him
He wanders through the night sky
Pretending that it's alright
But never will his father come home
And she's not like a mother to her
She lost her at 19, stays up all night crying
Her last goodbyes echo in her soul
