Flags And Footprints

I'm looking for a reason why i see no shooting stars tonight
Just a sign that everything's alright to quiet me, to quiet me
Maybe all i hoped was wrong maybe all i dreamed is gone
Maybe i was stupid all along for trying it, for trying it

But i believed in what you said
I trusted in your summer
Now the leaves are turning red
And soon they'll all be coming down
How can i go on
If hope is what keeps me alive
And i'm so uncertain

It seems the more i look for you the more i fail to find the truth
Maybe i'm affecting what i view with heavy veils and fairytales
Maybe my research was sound but maybe i just fooled around
All flags and footprints but nothing further down to find you, to find you

But i believed in what you said
I trusted in your summer
Now the leaves are turning red
And soon they'll all be coming down
How can i go on
If hope is what keeps me alive
And i'm so uncertain

I guess i learned the hard way or did i waste my time
I never met you half way but i crossed that line

And i believed in what you said
I trusted in your summer
Now the leaves are turning red
And soon they'll all be coming down
How can i go on
If hope is what keeps me alive
Maybe someday i'll know why
