She was a young girl, eighteen
|
Addicted to the dreams of being on the big screen
|
Then late on night, kissed her momma goodbye
|
Took the keys to the car and drove off in the night
|
|
Slow down
|
Don't be in a rush to leave
|
You'll never get these days again
|
But she was blinded by
|
All the stars in her eyes
|
What she wanted was the
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Hollywood life
|
It's not always what it seems, oh no
|
It's the Hollywood life
|
The land of a million dreams, oh oh oh
|
They follow the glow
|
But God only knows
|
What it will show to you
|
But when the sun goes down
|
You can almost hear the sound
|
Of the broken dreams on the ground
|
|
She was raised in a small town
|
She's been here for a year
|
Her body losing weight now
|
Never called back home
|
She's embarassed to go
|
She don't eat, she don't sleep
|
All she's hearing is no
|
|
Slow down
|
She feels like there's no place to go
|
There's no one there to hold her close
|
So in comes the knife
|
With the tears in her eyes
|
What she wanted was the
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
All that she wanted was to live the life
|
Her mom got a call from her baby late one night
|
It was quiet on the other end of the phone
|
She told her baby please come back home
|
Everything is gonna be alright this time
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
