Counterfeit Star - Aloud

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
