Stars Go Black

They were 17 when they first met

Everyone said slow down, don't loose your head

Wait and see where it goes before you've fallen

They were too young and too in love to listen

A month later they were married in a chapel

Under the Vegas city lights

They were living on dreams and minimum wage

Thinking man our future's looking star bright

Years later and miles away from those city lights

They face the struggles of the day to day

Both trying not to fight,

But he's not the boy she fell in love with,

Many years ago

And she's no picture of perfection

That he once knew

They were married in a chapel, under city lights

Living off dreams, but those sometimes die

Thought their future was looking star bright

Oh but sometimes, those stars go black

Mmm Stars go black

Oh now they're staring cross the table

At perfectly good strangers

Neither can remember what brought them here

There love has faded like the wedding pictures

They just want out of here

They were married in a chapel, under city lights

Living off dreams, but those sometimes die

Thought their future was looking star bright

Oh but sometimes, those stars go black

Mmm Stars go black
