Lyrics
[verse]
Everybody knows my name but nobody knows my mind
Fame's a funny mirror, shows you everything but kind
I made it to the top, and the air got thin up there
Nobody warns you how much silence you gotta bear
[chorus]
Maybe we all famous for a moment, then it's gone
Maybe all this shine is just a light that don't stay on
I got what I was chasing, still I feel the same
Turns out empty is the cost of being famous
[verse]
Used to think the crowd would fill the hole I couldn't name
Now the crowd goes home and I'm still here the same
Every headline written couldn't tell the real truth
Just a man still searching like he did in youth
[chorus]
Maybe we all famous for a moment, then it's gone
Maybe all this shine is just a light that don't stay on
I got what I was chasing, still I feel the same
Turns out empty is the cost of being famous
[bridge]
Piano keys keep echoing the question in my head
What's it worth if it's not peace instead
I'm learning slow that fame was never the reward
The quiet moments are the ones I can't afford
[chorus]
Maybe we all famous for a moment, then it's gone
Maybe all this shine is just a light that don't stay on
I got what I was chasing, still I feel the same
Turns out empty is the cost of being famous
