Story of my life,
All so bittersweet
One moment I am holding on then falling from my dream
To catch a shooting star, you gotta have fast feet
With a little patience they say it will catch me.

Cover up my ears,
and
Cover up my eyes,
Don't wanna be jaded
by this city of lies

Another Friday night,
this cities killing me
Everyone just looks the same
and act so carefree.
Am I the only one,
Who doesn't play pretend?
Have I already lost the game,
Or when will it begin?

Cover up my ears,
and
Cover up my eyes,
Don't wanna be jaded
by this city of lies

Some would call it nice
some would say Neive,
I don't really have the strength to care,
I just want to be me.
Hide my swollen eyes,
behind a crooked smile,
This is how you play the game
in the city denial.

Cover up my ears,
and
Cover up my eyes,
Don't wanna be jaded
by this city of lies
