Count the white lines on the highway
Wishing you were by my side
And I know we said forever
Then we never even made it through the night
Oh I tried to love you
And show you things that you have never seen before
But it's hard for me to stay with you
When you keep asking why I'm headed for the door
Why can't we just count the stars
Instead of counting all our nights apart
Why don't you just love me like you did
Tell me while I'm too high to cry and too drunk to forget
Promises come easy
When she's crying in the car
Saying swear you'll never leave me
The meaning fades away like shadows in the dark
Why can't we just count the stars
Instead of counting all our nights apart
Why don't you just love me like you did
Tell me while I'm too high to cry and too drunk to forget
I'm pretty good at faking sober
Least I can fool her on the phone
The train down the road shakes the walls of this trailer
And reminds me that I'm still alone
Why can't we just count the stars
Instead of counting all our nights apart
Why don't you just love me like you did
Tell me while I'm too high to cry and too drunk to forget
Why can't we just count the stars
Instead of counting all our nights apart
Why don't you just love me like you did
Tell me while I'm too high to cry and too drunk to forget
