Fame Won't Love You Songtext
von Sia

Watch children cry
The pageant sells the lie
Third place isn′t winning, you know
Neither is first
The pressure and the thirst
For this skeleton's show

I am so thin-skinned
Don′t scratch the surface
Please let me live within
Within this circus

Little dreams come crashing
Let them wave in passing
'Cause fame won't love you like a mother, like a father should
And you may wish for Oscars, Grammys and blockbusters
But they won′t love you like a brother, like a lover should

No, oh, no, oh
Fame won′t love you like a mother, like a father should
Whoa, oh
Fame won't love you like a mother, like a father should


Searched in your eyes
For some glimmer of light
Tap dancing for one million miles
I looked for the smiles
Oh, hoping in them, I′d find
Validation for my futile existence

I am so thin-skinned
Don't scratch the surface
Please let me live within
Within this circus

Little dreams come crashing
Let them wave in passing
′Cause fame won't love you like a mother, like a father should
And you may wish for Oscars, Grammys and blockbusters
But they won′t love you like a brother, like a lover should

No, no
Fame won't love you like a mother, like a father should
No, no
Fame won't love you like a mother, like a father should

No, no
Fame won′t love you like a mother, like a father should
Whoa, oh
Fame won′t love you like a mother, like a father should
Whoa
