You've been starstruck
It's plain to see
Never took a lesson
In astronomy
And I'm calling
Just to say I don't understand
You falling
For the charms of another man
Who holds out a flower
When your life's in a mess
Who takes you for granted
And you couldn't care less
Who's taken my everything
Now wouldn't you have guessed
He took away the stardust
And left you with a moon on your dress
Stop me knocking
On an empty door
Stop me sleeping
On the bathroom floor
When I'm praying
That the stars will begin to dim
And I'm waiting
For you to turn out the lights with him
But it's taking forever
For this moment to end
And I mourn your departure
Like the death of a friend
You wanted perfection
Then took second best
He took away the stardust
And left you with a moon on your dress
