[Verse 1]
Mama said he shined, outshone the whole block,
Head full of numbers, future like a ticking clock.
Golden kid, dreams built tall as the oak,
But love hit him sideways, now he’s drowning in smoke.
[Pre-Chorus]
Eyes once sharp, now glazed and red,
Chasing ghosts in a bottle, lost in his head.
[Chorus]
Broken bright star, falling so far,
Whiskey burns where the heart leaves scars.
Cigarette ash, wishes in the dark,
Trying to find light, but it’s tearing him apart.
[Verse 2]
She had lips like honey, promises like rain,
He built his castle, she left it in flames.
The boy who solved puzzles, can’t solve this pain,
Trading textbooks for bar stools, drowning shame.
[Bridge]
Violin cries like the ache in his chest,
A melody of sorrow, a life second-guessed.
The genius now stumbles, the prodigy fades,
Trading potential for nights where the darkness stays.
[Chorus]
Broken bright star, falling so far,
Whiskey burns where the heart leaves scars.
Cigarette ash, wishes in the dark,
Trying to find light, but it’s tearing him apart.
