Lyrics
[verse]
Cameras flashing, but the room feels cold and far
Standing in the spotlight, feeling like a distant star
Everybody watching but nobody really sees
The empty space behind the smile, the ache beneath the ease
[chorus]
Flashing lights, flashing lights, blinding out the truth
Chasing something golden that I lost in my youth
All this shine around me, all this glitter and this haze
Flashing lights can't warm you on the coldest days
[verse]
Crowded rooms and empty hallways, fame without the peace
Everyone wants a picture, nobody wants to stay and speak
I gave away the quiet nights for all this noise and light
Now I'm searching every corner just to feel alright
[chorus]
Flashing lights, flashing lights, blinding out the truth
Chasing something golden that I lost in my youth
All this shine around me, all this glitter and this haze
Flashing lights can't warm you on the coldest days
[bridge]
Somewhere past the cameras there's a simpler kind of glow
That's the light I'm reaching for, the only one I know
[chorus]
Flashing lights, flashing lights, blinding out the truth
Chasing something golden that I lost in my youth
All this shine around me, all this glitter and this haze
Flashing lights can't warm you on the coldest days
