The Price of Fame

I followed the sound
Of the lyrics you spoke
That whispered to my heart
And it instantly woke

Not only your lyrics
But the words that you speak
Made those butterflies flutter
And my knees go weak

Time and time again
I listened and followed
Your eminence swelled
The beginning of our hollow

Long nights of loud music
After parties till dawn
Livin' the rock'n'roll life
Groupies have spawned

These girls that follow
Don't know the real you
There's more to the party boy
They'll never know you like I do

The parties are fun
The music never gets old
But I had a life before we met
And I can't let it go cold

The screams of fans
All the camera lights
Only brief moments alone
Our future now a blurred sight

Trust is not the question
For I give you more than you'll ever know
But I want a life without the flashes
Where every action is a recorded show

I'll turn up the volume
When the radio plays your song
I'll smile and remember
As I sing along

So many sweet memories
And moments of pure bliss
Back before dreams came true
Back before you became famous.
