[Verse 1]
I'm afraid of this life I'm making
I'm afraid of this dream that I'm chasing
'Cause I know that I'll never be the same again
But I wanna share my stories
And dance up onstage
But I've never even been to a party
I'm too anxious anyway
[Pre-Chorus]
Glitz and glamor
Expensive fabrics
Diamond and designer
The price goes higher
Running lines like an actor backstage
Give me your attention
I'm the lead in this play
[Chrous]
I don't want that life
If I go on with this
I don't wanna change
At all
At all
At all
At all
This is gonna be my life
If I go on with this
I don't wanna change
At all
At all
At all
At all
I've gotta stay sane
And I've gotta be me
I wanna stay the same
But I know, its all gonna change
[Verse 2]
I'm afraid of the industry
Are they gonna chew me up
And spit me out
Like gum on the street
Under their feet
Or will I make it
And live my dream?
A reality made just for me
Look at him and his fancy car
He's made it here, and he's already far
With his dollar bills and his happy pills
I don't wanna be him
[Pre-Chorus]
Glitz and glamor
Expensive fabrics
Diamond and designer
The price goes higher
Running lines like an actor backstage
Give me your attention
I'm the lead in this play
[Chrous]
I don't want that life
If I go on with this
I don't wanna change
At all
At all
At all
At all
This is gonna be my life
If I go on with this
I don't wanna change
At all
At all
At all
At all
I've gotta stay sane
And I've gotta be me
I wanna stay the same
But I know, its all gonna change
[Bridge]
I wanna tour the world
And sing my songs for everyone
But this world isn't even familiar to me
And once that it's all happening
Will I ever be at ease again?
[Chrous]
I don't want that life
If I go on with this
I don't wanna change
At all
At all
At all
At all
This is gonna be my life
If I go on with this
I don't wanna change
At all
At all
At all
At all
I've gotta stay sane
And I've gotta be me
I wanna stay the same
But I know, its all gonna change
