[Verse 1:]
|
You're everything I wanna be,
|
but that's not true at all.
|
I've held you high,
|
I've built a lie.
|
You're nothing like you used to be,
|
and that's not right at all.
|
You've given in,
|
you've let them win.
|
|
[Pre-Chorus 1:]
|
And I'm sorry that these words
|
are coming out of my mouth,
|
but I don't wanna be like you.
|
I'm sorry that I'm just now figuring out.
|
|
[Chorus 1:]
|
Someone else can save the world.
|
I won't sell my soul for this.
|
I wasn't meant to make them happy,
|
I wasn't meant to make them money.
|
Someone else can let it all go,
|
Trade themselves for one more show.
|
But I wasn't meant to throw myself away,
|
for one meager shot at fame.
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
I thought you could think for yourself,
|
and fight for what you loved.
|
They're using you,
|
you know they do.
|
And I don't think I want to take,
|
the same road that you're on.
|
It can't be worth,
|
the way you hurt.
|
|
[Pre-Chorus 2:]
|
And I'm sorry that these words
|
are coming out of my mouth,
|
but I don't wanna be like you.
|
I'm sorry that I'm just now figuring out.
|
|
[Chorus 2:]
|
Someone else can save the world.
|
I won't sell my soul for this.
|
I wasn't meant to make them happy,
|
I wasn't meant to make them money.
|
Someone else can let it all go,
|
Trade themselves for one more show.
|
But I wasn't meant to throw myself away,
|
for one meager shot at fame.
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
Do you even remember why you wanted to get
|
this far in the first place?
|
Do you even remember why you wanted to be
|
a rock star in the first place?
|
Well, it's not too late.
|
|
[Chorus 3:]
|
'Cause Someone else can save the world.
|
Don't you sell your soul for this.
|
You weren't meant to make them happy,
|
You weren't meant to make them money.
|
'Cause Someone else can let it all go,
|
Trade themselves for one more show.
|
But you weren't meant to throw yourself away,
|
No we weren't meant to throw ourselves away,
|
for one meager shot at fame.
|
No, one meager shot at fame, fame, oh fame.
