Side by side, hand in hand
A bright career for you he planned
Your name in lights we dreamed about
The lights went on, your love went out
And now you have no need of me
I hold you back, you must be free
What can I do, what can I say
I never knew you felt this way
Side by side, hand in hand
You said you'd wear my weeding band
I gave you love and happiness
You wanted fame and great success
Like wine, it all went to your head
I wish, my love, you failed instead
You're on your way, there is no doubt
I'm on my way, on my way out
Yesterday, we chanced to meet
My heart, it fell beneath your feet
But you pretended not to see
It's plain that you're ashamed of me
Can you forget the love we knew
And just how much I worshipped you
I hope that you are satisfied
A star is born, a love has died
A star is born, a love has died
