American Fame

.

This is the life that I wanted to live

So many things that I wanted to give

And I'd give them all back for you

This is the sound of my dreams coming true

Now I'm one step further from you

But I'd walk right back for you

I'm bathed in shining lights,

Famous friends and crazy nights

.

This is American fame

All of the praise and the blame

All of the crowds and the press

All I feel is loneliness

This is American bliss

All it took was a kiss

All I gave was my heart

And it's tearing my world apart

It's tearing my world apart

.

Suddenly life is moving so fast

I hope my fifteen minutes will last

But I'd turn the clock right back for you

Sometimes I find myself saying your name

But when I see you it won't be the same

Still I'd walk right back for you

I'm bathed in shining lights

Famous friends and crazy nights

.

This is American fame

All of the praise and the blame

All of the crowds and the press

All I feel is loneliness

This is American bliss

All it took was a kiss

All I gave was my heart

And it's tearing my world apart

This is American fame

All of the praise and the blame

All of the crowds and the press

All I feel is loneliness

This is American bliss

All it took was a kiss

All I gave was my heart

And it's tearing my world apart

.

It's tearing my world apart, ooh yeah

Oh, my world apart
