Memorizing city lights of all the places I have been Nothing like adrenaline highs, but coming down almost k**s me Love the places, know the faces, but the names are all a blur It's hard to hold on when you forget where you are and where you were Everybody wants to live their life in the spotlight One day at a time, I just want to live for tonight Standing here with you, I don't want you to see that I'm terrified Is this what you expected? Can't you see it's all smoke and lights? I know it's getting late but please don't go There is still so much more of the show I know there'll be a thousand more goodbyes Before they dim the lights I've realized that all I've wanted is right here in front of me I said that to you; you laughed, but it was something that I do believe in It's nice to meet you, share this moment; please don't stand so close to me Keep your distance when it's over, I'm afraid you've stolen part of me Everybody wants to live their life in the spotlight One day at a time, I just want to live for tonight Standing here with you, I don't want you to see that I'm terrified Is this what you expected? Can't you see it's all smoke and lights? I know it's getting late but please don't go There is still so much more of the show I hope there'll be a thousand more goodbyes Before they dim the lights This path will soon be ending And will you stay with me? It's only us left standing; will I find it hard to breathe? And it has not been easy when I'm lost and in my mind Separate worlds divided; my mind's been there all the time City lights flash by me And I don't know where I am Before tonight they'll love me But when I'm gone they'll just forget You know me better than all this You've seen me on the edge of a world that tried to leave me with an open wound again My heart; you'll want to stay forever All this just so I can live forever Immortalized; forever here In time, you'll understand
