Shooting Star

To make the scene like you always do
goin' up stream down the avenue, to fuck some
trophy boy that you win tonight at the bar.
So bad, so far. you'll make him sad, shooting star.
When it was me,
I was momentarily proud,
Drunk on dreams now i'm glad
I didn't say out loud
you said you'd be for real but
I don't believe that you are.
so bad, so far. you make me sad, shooting star.
you're distant and cold,and a sight to behold
everybody just sighs. No one gets off
with you very long, cause you don't feel bad when you lie
I'm going to sleep now
going back to find square one
square 2 will be where I can deal with the shit you've just done
It won't be soon
to say the least it's gonna be hard
so bad, so far. your love is sad, shooting star
your love is sad, shooting star
