Shining Star


You’re not the kind of gal who’s fond of people asking you a lot of questions

But I liked you anyhow, and took the time to give you all of my suggestions.

Well, you thought you knew just how things had to be.

You never liked when I explained reality.

I knew you couldn’t be my shining star

But this went way too far

Could you be a friend- to me, to you, to anyone at all?

A friend –to me, to you , to anyone just tell me

How

Can I respond to you when you’re not even giving second chances?

Well you never even said  “we’re through”

I guess you couldn’t risk my hurtin’ glances.

Yes I knew you couldn’t be my shining star,

But why’d you go and have to treat me like a stranger?

Trusting you was so unwise of me.

You were no friend to me.

Could you be a friend-to me, to you, to anyone at all?

I recall a time of happiness and smiles ( at least that’s what the words should say now)

But mainly there were tears, and all your fears

There never was much laughter anyhow.

(PIANO)

If I could cancel out the time we had, the couple years I wasted

Well, would I do that –be done this pain? Oh yeah, I would erase it.

But I must admit I’m somewhat furious, and curious to know

How you replaced me.

Always knew you’d leave me in the dust. You’re not someone to trust.

Could you be a friend? Could you be my shining star? Could you be my shining star? Could you be my shining, shining, shining star?
