Didn't they shine

She promised you stars
Like you read on her pages,
All of the tinsel and the company of strangers.
The fear that you came with,
You thought you’d escaped it...
But even while breaking, You could still be persuaded.

Looking out...across the lights, Until the morning...
Oh, but didn’t they shine...
Like the night sky,
And didn’t they shine,
Like thee hazy daybreak, Like champagne and heartbreak.
