Golden Lights lyrics

Golden lights displaying your name

Golden lights it's a terrible shame

But oh my darling

Why did you change?

Boy in a million, idol, a big star

I didn't tell you how great you were

I didn't grovel and scream

And rip your brand new jacket at the seams

You made a record, they liked your singing

All of a sudden the phone stops ringing

Ah, I never thought that you would let

The glory make you forget

Golden lights displaying your name

Golden lights it's a terrible shame

But oh my darling

Why did you change?

Top ten idol, king of your age

Who do you turn to when you're backstage?

Don't you remember you once knew a girl

You loved her more than the world

Is life always like this, brother?

Good for one side but bad for another

I must put you behind me tonight

Cause you belong to the lights

Those golden lights displaying your name

Golden lights it's a terrible shame

But oh my darling

Why did you change?

Oh, oh my darling

Why?

Why did you change?

Oh
