We came from nothing
And worked out way up to everything
Our friends and family saw us
As our heads grew tall
Taller than the trees
And now you think you're above everything
You did just what you knew not to do You let it go to your head
You did the things we said we'd never do
And now you've thrown it all away
For the things you've gained
You said
This is not how it was supposed to be
The fame has got the best of me
This wasn't in the dream
Some things are never as they seem
I'm not who you want me to be
These things are never changing
The fame has got the best of me"
And now you're something
Something you should not have become and everyone, they saw you
As your head's grown tall
Taller than the city
In which you looked down on everything
You did just what you knew not to do You let it go to your head
You did the things you said we'd never do
And now you've thrown it all away
For the things you've gained
You said
This is not how it was supposed to be The fame has got the best of me
This wasn't in the dream
Some things are never as they seem
I'm not who you want me to be
These things are never changing
The fame has got the best of me
