Lyrics
Famous
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.
Cut the rope you count on to hold you up
There’s no use hanging waiting for a fantasy to come
(I wanna be like, wanna, wanna be like)
Tried your best but clearly it’s not enough
And you can’t keep going trying to stay afloat to make it home
(I wanna be like, wanna, wanna be like)
And I get that you wished for nothing else
And you hate that everyone that makes you doubt yourself
(It goes on, and on, and on, and on)
Get a grip like everybody else
If you dwell you will fuck your mental health
(It goes on, and on, and on, and on)
I wanna be famous
Wanna leave a mark
I just wanna make waves
Watch them go far
I wanna be the greatest
Where do I start?
I wanna be a name in a Hollywood star
I wanna be like you
(I wanna be like, wanna, wanna be like)
You (you)
(I wanna be like, wanna, wanna be like)
Take your web and go spin it for someone else
Coz it ain’t worth living
Paying bills to barely make it by
(I wanna be like, wanna, wanna be like)
Yeah you pray for checks and money
But to me that shit means nothing
I’ll be waiting for a fantasy to come
(It goes on, and on, and on, and on)
I wanna be famous
Wanna leave a mark
I just wanna make waves
Watch them go far
I wanna be the greatest
Where do I start?
I wanna be a name in a Hollywood star
I wanna be like you
(I wanna be like, wanna, wanna be like)
You (you)
(It goes on, and on, and on, and on)
(It goes on, and on, and on, and on)
(It goes on, and on, and on, and on)
(And I get that you wished for nothing else)
(It goes on, and on, and on, and on)
(Get a grip like everybody else)
(It goes on, and on, and on, and on)
I wanna be famous
Wanna leave a mark
I just wanna make waves
Watch them go far
I wanna be the greatest
Where do I start?
I wanna be a name in a Hollywood star
I wanna be like you
(I wanna be like, wanna, wanna be like)
You (you)
(And I get that you wished for nothing else)
(I wanna be like, wanna, wanna be like)
You (you)
