Lyrics
[Instrumental]
(Verse 1)
Million dollar lights, a city that never sleeps
But my heart’s a graveyard, where nobody ever weeps
Empty echoes bounce off these platinum walls
Traded laughter for screams, traded love for applause
(Pre-Chorus)
Champagne showers, confetti in my hair
But the only thing I crave is a moment to breathe the air
Outside this gilded cage, a million faces stare
But none of them recognize the lonely soul I wear
(Chorus)
Diamonds on my fingers, but they can’t buy back time
Sold my yesterdays for a future that’s never mine
This stardust in my lungs, it’s choking all the light
Give me back the warmth, the love, the simple life
(Post Chorus)
[Instrumental]
(Verse 2)
Headlines scream my name, awards line the shelf
But the only validation I crave is for someone to love myself
The melody’s a siren, a haunting, hollow tune
A constant reminder of what I sacrificed beneath the moon
(Pre-Chorus)
Lost in the fast lane, chasing a fleeting high
The finish line keeps moving, a never-ending lie
This crown feels heavy, a burden I can’t bear
The cost of my ambition, a love I can’t repair
(Chorus)
Diamonds on my fingers, but they can’t buy back time
Sold my yesterdays for a future that’s never mine
This stardust in my lungs, it’s choking all the light
Give me back the warmth, the love, the simple life
(Bridge)
Is this the price I pay for the dreams I used to hold?
A million empty rooms, a story left untold
Is there a way back? Can I rewind the scene?
Trade the glitter for the grass, the whispers for the green
(Chorus)
Diamonds on my fingers, but they can’t buy back time
Sold my yesterdays for a future that’s never mine
This stardust in my lungs, it’s choking all the light
Give me back the warmth, the love, the simple life
(Outro)
[Instrumental]
Give me back the warmth, the love, the simple life
Give it back to me, oh, give it back to me
[Instrumental]
[End]
(Chorus)
Diamonds on my fingers, but they can’t buy back time
Sold my yesterdays for a future that’s never mine
This stardust in my lungs, it’s choking all the light
Give me back the warmth, the love, the simple life
(Outro)
[Instrumental]
Give me back the warmth, the love, the simple life
Give it back to me, oh, give it back to me
[Instrumental]
[End]
