[THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]

Lyrics

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 charm 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 this 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
