Текст пісні
Dreams don't come free, no, there's always a price
But you trained your soul just to live in the lights
Saw my name on the dotted line
Dreams were bright, but the cost was mine
Gave my nights, gave my days away
For the chance to stand on stage and stay
Crowds are screaming, the cameras glow
But deep inside, only I still know
Every tear feels like fire
Every life is desire
But behind the curtain glow
There's a price you'll never know
I gave up my soul to be a big idol
Traded my heart for the sound of the title
Lost myself in the shine of the stage
Locked my truth in a fangled cage
Every smile is a mask I wear
Every teeter disappears in air
Fans don't see when the lights go black
How much I want my old self back
The world loves the dream they see
But who's left when there's no me
Every show's a little higher
Every deal a tighter wire
But the fire never slows
Even if my spirit goes
I gave up my soul to be a big idol
Traded my heart for the sound of the title
Fame's a crown, but it cuts like a blade
Still I stand in the deal I made
The devil took my soul
But then I became a big boy idol
Would you pay the same price I paid
Stand in the light but live in the shade
Is it glory or is it control
What's the cost of a glorious soul
I gave up my soul to be a big idol
Traded my heart for the sound of the title
Lost myself in the shine of the stage
Locked my truth in a fame-filled cage
I gave up my soul to be a big idol
Traded my heart for the sound of the title
Lost myself in the shine of the stage
Locked my truth in a fame-filled cage
Yeah, I gave it all
To be a big idol
Traded my heart for the sound of the title
Lost myself in the shine of the stage
