Lyrics
[verse]
Chased the fame like it would fill the empty space inside
Every trophy just another mask to hide behind
Thought the crown would make the loneliness disappear
Found out fortune doesn't quiet down the fear
[chorus]
Everybody wants the holy grail, wants the golden crown
But nobody tells you how it feels when the lights go down
Chasing something shiny while the real thing slips away
Learning what actually matters every single day
[verse]
Used to think the world was watching, used to think it mattered
Now I'm learning what's important when the crowd noise scattered
Fame's a heavy thing to carry on your own
Glad I found the ones who love me for what's known
[chorus]
Everybody wants the holy grail, wants the golden crown
But nobody tells you how it feels when the lights go down
Chasing something shiny while the real thing slips away
Learning what actually matters every single day
[bridge]
Choir singing loud behind the lesson that I learned
Every empty trophy, every bridge I burned
Now I chase the peace instead of chasing the acclaim
That's the only grail worth calling by that name
[chorus]
Everybody wants the holy grail, wants the golden crown
But nobody tells you how it feels when the lights go down
Chasing something shiny while the real thing slips away
Learning what actually matters every single day
