Counting Years

Verse 1

Counting years

Some lost, some found

The worst forgotten

Like hidden fears

Photographs faded

Corners curled and brown

Writing stories, re-writing then erasing

Trying not to drown

Chorus

Will I be happy

Will I be loved

Or heartbroken and lonely

Will someone remember

My silence and my song

Will I be drifting forever

Or finally belong

Verse 2

Empty frames

Dust on the glass

Footsteps on floorboards

Echo the past

Maybe light at sunrise, maybe rain

Questions without answers

Circling again

Chorus

Will I be happy

Will I be loved

Or heartbroken and lonely

Will someone remember

My silence and my song

Will I be drifting forever

Or finally belong

Bridge

One breath, one try

Hope on my sleeve

Each day, each night

What will I believe

One word, one hand

Reaching out to me

Is there laughter waiting

Somewhere I can't see

Chorus

Will I be happy

Will I be loved

Or heartbroken and lonely

Will someone remember

My silence and my song

Will I be drifting forever

Or finally belong

Outro

Counting years

Softly asking why

Will I be happy

Or just pass by
