When the Fame Goes to Die

Every day I feel like I’m a broken record
So I ignore my flaws and pull myself together
I put on this facade where I think I’m the greatest
But deep down I know that I am my own weakness
I need people to love me
Or else my heart will feel so heavy
I’m looking for a sense of calm
Cause my pride is ticking like a bomb
Can you hear me
Over the sound of people screaming
And praising my name?
Can you see me through the flashing lights?
Will you still be here when the fame goes to die?
Can you hear me
Over the sound of paparazzi
Shouting for me?
Can you see me through the neon signs?
Can you stay with me when the fame goes to die?
It’s getting harder to admit I have a problem
Cause I convince myself I’m not stuck at the bottom
Yeah, I still try my best to make myself look perfect
Cause in my head, I’ll always be some kind of reject
I want people on my side
Cause my friends all run and then they hide
What’s the point of acting fine
When I feel so small and have no spine?
Can you hear me
Over the sound of people screaming
And praising my name?
Can you see me through the flashing lights?
Will you still be here when the fame goes to die?
Can you hear me
Over the sound of paparazzi
Shouting for me?
Can you see me through the neon signs?
Can you stay with me when the fame goes to die?
Before you go
Is there a chance that you’ll let me show
You I’m willing to change
Cause I want you to see
How much you mean to me
Cause I’ve become someone I hate
And I’m feeling numb
Do you think that it’s too late
For me to grow
Or have I hit a new low?
Before you go
Is there a chance that you’ll let me show
You I’m willing to change
Cause I want you to see
How much you mean to me
Cause I’ve become someone I hate
And I’m feeling numb
Do you think that it’s too late
For me to grow
Or have I hit a new low?
