Counterfeit Star

You said it with such grace
I should have read it on your face
You’d burnt it down just to laugh
About it later

And you said it with such malice
Who would have known you’d be so callous ?
And so you try again
But not this time
It’s the bitter
Bitter
End

I don’t know how I was convinced
To overlook your Judas kiss
I’m telling you now
I know who you are
I’m telling you now

And thought it looks like you’re healing
I know you’re really just feeling
Up a crowd to hustle for your next trick

When I forgive, you trespass
When I create, you just smash
It all to pieces
I’m left to clean the splinters of our trust

Now I see through your artifice
As I receive your Judas kiss

I’m telling you now
I know who you are
I’m telling you now
I know who you are--
A counterfeit star
A counterfeit star
A counterfeit star
I’m telling you now
I’m telling you now
A counterfeit star
