Come see the city lights
High above a perfect sky
You know they're waiting here for you
Everybody's gotta have a dream
Some things aren't what they seem
The brightest lights often hide the bitter truth
You can't see the sun anymore
Never finding what you're searching for
You're alive but still you feel so dead inside
Just like you're living a life
Behind these lights
This music city is filled with stars
Not everyone is who they say they are
They live like puppets on a string
Empty promises and shattered lives
A fake smile for you're disguise
This life isn't how you thought it'd be
You can't see the sun anymore
Never finding what you're searching for
You're alive but still you feel so dead inside
Just like you're living a life
Behind these lights
You finally made it at your goal
With over half a million sold
And still you feel alone
And it only costs your soul
So many faces in the crowd
Screaming out your name so loud
If this is what it's all about
Then you won't see the sun anymore
Never finding what you're searching for
You're alive but still you feel so dead inside
Just like you're living a lie
Behind these lights
