Lyrics

One time it used to be for you
Wouldn’t ever be for me
The way the game’s laid out for you
Moving on past all these years
Going through the pain and tears
That I could never keep to myself
And you couldn’t choose what you wanted
Didn’t know if it’s you or them
Who wanted it more – this scene
Couldn’t have the life you want
And never knew you would be haunted
With all this popularity

Don’t think it’s not everything you didn’t wanna be – my baby
And the limelight don’t shine so bright for you these days – no

You’re followed around from day to day
You constantly complain
How much you think your face has aged
Think it’s time to pull the plug
The director to yell “Cut!”
But it all will stop rolling in
And you couldn’t choose what you wanted
Didn’t know if it’s you or them
Who wanted it more – this scene - yeah
Couldn’t have the life you want
And never knew you would be haunted
With all this popularity

Don’t think it’s not everything you didn’t wanna be – my baby
And the limelight don’t shine so bright for you these days – no

And only time can ever help you tell
Which part of you is next for sale
They don’t want your heart
They want their plaything – hey yeah

Don’t think it’s not everything you didn’t wanna be – my baby
And the limelight don’t shine so bright for you these days – no
Don’t think…
