[Verse] Saw a man under neon lights Said take my hand you'll reach new heights A dream for sale in the city glows Your name in stars where the whirlwind blows [Verse 2] Took his word with a pocket full of hope Threw caution down an endless slope Pay the price and the world will sing Fame’s promise burn like a golden ring [Chorus] Glitz and glamour lead you astray Shiny faces they fade away Gold disappears with the morning sun In the mirror you see what you've become [Verse 3] Nightclubs pounding with a heavy beat Traded my soul for a front row seat Flashbulbs burst to light up the dark But shadows follow me in every spark [Bridge] Empty cheers fill this hollow hall Each step forward only leads to a fall Fleeting moments in a crystal maze Left with illusions of my glory days [Chorus] Glitz and glamour lead you astray Shiny faces they fade away Gold disappears with the morning sun In the mirror you see what you've become
