Ethan Cheatwood - WHEN THE STARS ALIGN Lyrics

It's been a long time
I was hoping you would see me when I saw you walk by
"I don't know that guy"
Tell me, when did your niceties turn into white lies?
No need to be modest
I threw all of that away into the box that says "his shit"
And if were honest
I'd much rather die alone than be trapped in your eternal orbit
How was I supposed to know you'd drive away and leave me stranded?
Boy we've been cruising down the same road
Yet were going opposite directions
Better off when I ain't around you
Won't self-abandon again baby that's the truth
Better off when I ain't around you
I thought the stars aligned, but now I know they lied to me
I realized that you mean more to me that I mean to you
And I fantasize about the life we could have made
Instead you left me out to dry
How was I supposed to know that we'd be in the same boat?
Boy we've been sailing down the same coast
And it's been me whose kept us afloat
Better off when I ain't around you
Won't self-abandon again baby that's the truth
Better off when I ain't around you
I thought the stars aligned, but now I know they lied to me
Better off when I ain't around you
Won't self-abandon again baby that's the truth
Better off when I ain't around you
So I'll put this to an end, and I know just how to begin
