Lyrics

Spotlight

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.

Boy meets a girl

Hid behind a wall

Piling up the bricks

Hoping they would fall

Girl meets a boy

Surrender to his charms

Leaves her old boyfriend and crumbles in his arms

And if they wanna make me pay now

Then go on

Cause loving you was never wrong

Here is my life in the spotlight, spotlight oh, oh

And it's hurting my eyes

Cause it's so bright (so bright) oh, oh

But you are the thing I was missing

And I couldn't find

And I wouldn't give you up even if I ended blind

Lazy for a while

Laying golden eggs

Some just want your money

Or whatever they can take

But hearing your name

Don't need anyone else

You're here because you want me

And not for what I make

Hey, they better know

If there is a price to pay now, the game is on

Cause in the end you know I won

Here is my life in the spotlight, spotlight oh, oh

And it's hurting my eyes

Cause it's so bright (so bright) oh, oh

But you are the thing I was missing

And I couldn't find

And I wouldn't give you up even if I ended blind

And every camera flash my way

And every word of every page

Well they can say whatever they want to

Cause what we got is just so real

That they can't change the way I feel

Cause I would do it all again for you

Here is my life in the spotlight, spotlight oh, oh

And it's hurting my eyes

Cause it's so bright (so bright) oh, oh

But you are the thing I was missing

And I couldn't find

And I wouldn't give you up even if I ended blind

Here is my life in the spotlight, spotlight oh, oh

And it's hurting my eyes

Cause it's so bright (so bright) oh, oh

But you are the thing I was missing

And I couldn't find

And I wouldn't give you up even if I ended blind
