VIRB

Hollywood Ending
She says she wants to move to Hollywood and be a star up on the screen.
I tell her darling, your name in lights isn't always all it's cracked up to be.
She says of course it is, what else is there?
They'll make me beautiful, can't you see?
And I said yes.
But I thought darling, you're beautiful to me.

She wants the world to see her be someone else.
'Cause too long ago she decided she couldn't just be herself.
And she wants the world to love her and put her name up in the sky.
But She' musn't know that I'd give her wings to fly.

She bought some magazines from a newsstand with a couple on the front.
They were getting bombarded by cameras while they were simply out to lunch.
She said someday I will be there and they'll want to have my picture, too.
And I thought darling, they'll never love having you like I do.

She wants the world to see her be someone else.
'Cause too long ago she decided she couldn't just be herself.
And she wants the world to love her and put her name up in the sky.
But She' musn't know that I'd give her wings to fly.

Some many years passed and I went to the movies.
I saw my girl up there on the screen.
She looked so happy. I felt so sorry for her.
Eh, I guess that's not my place.
But I swear I know her better than the act she gave.

She wants the world to see her be someone else.
'Cause too long ago she decided she couldn't just be herself.
And she wants the world to love her and put her name up in the sky.
But She' musn't know that I'd give her wings to fly.
