My Brilliant Star - The Contes

My Brilliant Star - The Contes
Composed by：Steven J Conte
Again you packed up slammed the door I fell out in peace
An hour later I wake up to the jangle of your keys
It seems you can't do nothin' right all your papers in a heap
The night before your big exam and you drink yourself to sleep
If you're gonna leave me go ahead but I don't believe your threats
I'll surely miss your body but it's your mind I won't forget
My brilliant star flicker off and on
My brilliant star your self-defeating whims pull you closer to the sun
Now you used to write me poetry when you were so inspired
You rivaled yeats but lately all you do is sit around and cry
So you got yourself a new job that's sucking out your life
Sixty grand in student loans and now you don't want write
You want get yourself a brush and eisel oh baby
Paint up on the bridge
But I know you all too well girl
I'm afraid you can't swim
My brilliant star you flicker off and on
My brilliant star
You're headed for a crash
Ninety million miles give or take
You're still far away as the sun's going down
My brilliant star you flicker off and on
My brilliant star you're self-defeating
My brilliant star
My brilliant star
Your self-defeating whims pull you closer to the sun
Closer to the sun
