[Intro]

Everyone's dying for the spotlight

And everyone is trying to show their best life

GO!


[Verse 1]

She don't care, she's lost, she just wants to be accepted

She ain't got no love, love, no

She don't want no truth yet she just craves attention

And that's all she knows, knows

She starves herself, cause skinny means that you're pretty

But she hates herself, she wants to cry but she holds it in

She cuts herself just to feel alivе, it's not alright


[Chorus]

Everyone's dying for the spotlight

And еveryone is trying to show their best life

Aren't you over it? Over that?

I know it's hard to feel 'cause I had enough, I'm over that

Show me that you're real


[Verse 2]

I think she's headed for a meltdown, I know it's painful 'cause I've been there myself

Don't sit in silence in your shame now

'Cause I'm a wreck just like everyone else and I confess that I am a mess

And I hate myself, for everything that I've done to me

And I lived through hell, I pushed the button so self-destructive

Can't help myself, I'm not afraid to be vulnerable and uncomfortable because it's all that I know


[Chorus]

Everyone's dying for the spotlight

And everyone is trying to show their best life

Aren't you over it? Over that?

I know it's hard to feel 'cause I had enough, I'm over that

Show me that you're real


[Chorus]

Everyone's dying for the spotlight

And everyone is trying to show their best life

Aren't you over it? Over that?

I know it's hard to feel 'cause I had enough, I'm over that

Show me that you're real

Just show me that you're real


[Bridge]

I'm not afraid to be vulnerable and uncomfortable because it's all that I know

It's all that I know!

I'm not afraid to be vulnerable and uncomfortable


[Chorus]

Everyone's dying for the spotlight

And everyone is trying to show their best life

Aren't you over it? Over that?

I know it's hard to feel 'cause I had enough, I'm over that

Show me that you're real


[Chorus]

Everyone's dying for the spotlight

And everyone is trying to show their best life

Aren't you over it? Over that?

I know it's hard to feel 'cause I had enough, I'm over that

Show me that you're real


[Outro]

Just show me that you're real

Show me that you're real
