He's sitting next to me in the quiet room No one dears to break the silence And every time I breathe it feels like past and present is drifting apart I feel a tension, something's growing inside Soon my bubble is to burst He's a star alright, but to me he's just a mess But I'm told to treat him like a star Treat him well and give him my undivided attention Treat him like a star, like a shooting star on high Treat me like a fool, treat me bad You oughta know you do me wrong But I can't pretend and I can't deny That I haven't found a reason yet He's walking out the door looking confident and resolute as ever As far as I can tell he never looked back over his shoulder It seems to me he doesn't know me anymore And now my bubble is to burst He's a star alright, but to me he's just a mess
