Young or Nameless

Do you know what it's like to lose?
Have you ever felt trapped?
Of course you have,
This is the age of emo.

Did you ever make a promise?
One you knew you'd never keep?
Like that one day, you'd be famous
And that lies are for the weak.

I said I never lied to you
Well, oops, I did it again.
Young or nameless?
Old or famous?

Give me a direction
Or just give me attention
Then take back this hope.
I preferred the lies.

And, ooh, baby, don't they love you!
Win this crowd, then take the world
Get thin, stay thin, oh they love you!
Don't turn your back, don't forget your girl.

I said I'd never change for fame
But there I go again.
Young or nameless?
Old or famous?

Did you ever make a promise?
One you couldn't keep?
Did you ever give up on a dream?
For the one who helps you sleep?

Hey, baby, smile wide
This is your day.
Hey, baby, did you know?
I'd choose you over fame.
