Fame Won't Love You

Watch children cry
The pageant sells a lie
Third place isn`t winning, you know
Neither is first
The pressure and the thirst
For this skeleton`s show

I am so thin-skinned
Don`t scratch the surface
Please let me live within
Within this circus

Little dreams come crashing
Let them wave in passing
`Cause fame won`t love you like a mother, like a father should
And you may wish for Oscars
Grammys and blockbusters
But they won`t love you like a brother, like a lover should

No, oh
Famе won`t love you like a mother, likе a father should
Woah, oh
Fame won`t love you like a mother, like a father should

Searched in your eyes
For some glimmer of light
Tap dancing for one million miles
I looked for the smiles
Oh, hoping in them I`d find
Validation for my futile existence

I am so thin-skinned
Don`t scratch the surface
Please let me live within
Within this circus

Little dreams come crashing
Let them wave in passing
`Cause fame won`t love you like a mother, like a father should
And you may wish for Oscars
Grammys and blockbusters
But they won`t love you like a brother, like a lover should

No, no
Fame won`t love you like a mother, like a father should
No, no
Fame won`t love you like a mother, like a father should

No, oh
Fame won`t love you like a mother, like a father should
Woah, oh
Fame won`t love you like a mother, like a father should
Woah
