Searched in your eyesFor some glimmer of lightTap dancing for one million milesI looked for the smilesOh, hoping in them I'd findValidation for my futile existence
I am so thin-skinnedDon't scratch the surfacePlease let me live withinWithin this circus
Little dreams come crashingLet them wave in passing'Cause fame won't love you like a mother, like a father shouldAnd you may wish for OscarsGrammys and blockbustersBut they won't love you like a brother, like a lover should
No, noFame won't love you like a mother, like a father shouldNo, noFame won't love you like a mother, like a father should
No, ohFame won't love you like a mother, like a father shouldWoah, ohFame won't love you like a mother, like a father shouldWoah
