I was counting on you

To stand by me

To see me through

I was counting on you

They moved the moon

While I looked down

When I looked away

They changed the stars around

I'm so confused

Don't know what to do

Don't know which way to turn

I was counting on you

They moved the moon

While I looked down

When I looked away

They changed the stars around

Can't you see me?

Can't you hear me now?

Don't you want a love that's true?

Don't you know my heart belongs to you?

I was counting on you

To stand by me

To see me through

I was counting on you

They moved the moon

While I looked down

When I looked away

They changed the stars around

They moved the moon

I feel so strange

While I looked down

Everything I depended on

When I looked away

Has been rearranged

They changed the stars around
