An Ordinary Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What makes you different from anyone in here
What makes you stand out from the crowd
What makes your mother so proud of you
What makes us worship at your ground
At night when you go to bed
Do these thoughts run through your head
When you're lying all there alone
Do you think of us instead
I don't know where I'll be in ten years time
I want to be free
I don't care about the cameras
I don't care about the lights
All I wanted was an ordinary life
What makes you happy
What makes you sad
Do paparazzi drive you mad
Do you miss your life back home
Were they the best days that you had
I don't know where I'll be in ten years time
I want to be free
I don't care about the cameras
I don't care about the lights
All I wanted was an ordinary life
I don't know where I'll be in ten years time
Where will the music take me
I don't care about the spotlight
I don't care about the nights
All I wanted was an ordinary life
I don't know where I'll be in ten years time
Where will the music take me
I don't care about the spotlight or the Hollywood nights
All I wanted was an ordinary life
