Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's so easy to lose all the meaning of who you are
What is your definition of a true superstar?
Is it beauty, is it money, is it power, is it fame?
Are you in it for the glory, what's the purpose, what's the game?
Everything you ever wanted got you tied up in chains
Be careful how you play the game
[Verse 2]
'Cause the same things that chose you
Are the same things that own you
The same thing that built you is the same thing that kills you
The same ones that praise you are the same ones that hate you
Funny how it all goes around
[Verse 3]
If you lose your soul, you lose it all
If you're at the top then brace for the fall
Surrounded by faces but no one to call, funny how it all goes around
If you lose your soul, you lose it all
If you're at the top then brace for the fall
Surrounded by faces but no one to call, funny how it all goes around
[Verse 4]
If you look through a microscope at this messed up world
You would see every scratch, every flaw, every ounce of dirt
Your so-called friends you're leanin' on, but all they do is take
You say it's fine but deep inside, you wish you could escape
Everything you ever wanted got you tied up in chains
Be careful how you play the game
[Verse 5]
'Cause the same ones that shun you
Are the same ones that love you
The same words that break you are the same words that shape you
The same rules that blind you are the same rules that guide you
Funny how it all goes around
[Verse 6]
If you lose your soul, you lose it all
If you're at the top then brace for the fall
Surrounded by faces but no one to call, funny how it all goes around
If you lose your soul, you lose it all
If you're at the top then brace for the fall
Surrounded by faces but no one to call, funny how it all goes around
[Verse 7]
You keep on cryin' out, don't let me hit the ground
Your soul is cryin' out, don't let me hit the ground
You keep on cryin' out Lord, don't let me hit the ground
Your soul is cryin' out, don't let me hit the ground
[Verse 8]
If you lose your soul, then you lose it all
If you're at the top then brace for the fall
Surrounded by faces no one to call, funny how it all goes around
If you lose your soul, then you lose it all
Surrounded by faces but no one to call
If you're at the top, brace for the fall
Funny how, funny how it all goes around, yeah
[Verse 9]
Ooh yeah, don't let me hit the ground
You keep on cryin' out, don't let me hit the ground
Funny how it all goes around
