She was a young girl, eighteen

Addicted to the dreams of being on the big screen

Then late on night, kissed her momma goodbye

Took the keys to the car and drove off in the night



Slow down

Don't be in a rush to leave

You'll never get these days again

But she was blinded by

All the stars in her eyes

What she wanted was the



[Chorus:]

Hollywood life

It's not always what it seems, oh no

It's the Hollywood life

The land of a million dreams, oh oh oh

They follow the glow

But God only knows

What it will show to you

But when the sun goes down

You can almost hear the sound

Of the broken dreams on the ground



She was raised in a small town

She's been here for a year

Her body losing weight now

Never called back home

She's embarassed to go

She don't eat, she don't sleep

All she's hearing is no



Slow down

She feels like there's no place to go

There's no one there to hold her close

So in comes the knife

With the tears in her eyes

What she wanted was the



[Chorus]



All that she wanted was to live the life

Her mom got a call from her baby late one night

It was quiet on the other end of the phone

She told her baby please come back home

Everything is gonna be alright this time



[Chorus x2]
