Green eyes caught staring at the high life
Wishing you could be like them
They've got their fast cars and diamonds on their high-rise
Always looking like a ten
Yeah they're first class
Always gotten everything they've wanted
Turns out they're lonely just the same
So tell me why
You wanna live that kind of life
You want your name in flashing lights
You wanna chase that shallow high
Oh, oh, oh
Tell me why
You wanna sell yourself a lie
Cause in the end you'll realize
It's gonna leave you cold and empty on the otherside
On the otherside
Perfect smile, posing for the camera
Checkmark by their names
They've got their cool brands, followers and fans
Yeah it seems like they've got it made
But they're slaves to the superficial
Fake friends and politics, oh
Deep down they wish they could escape
So tell me why
You wanna live that kind of life
You want your name in flashing lights
You wanna chase that shallow high
Oh, oh, oh
Tell me why
You wanna sell yourself a lie
Cause in the end you'll realize
It's gonna leave you cold and empty on the otherside
On the otherside
On the otherside
On the otherside
Money's greener
Sugar's sweeter
Til greed never leaves you satisfied
Tell me why
You wanna live that kind of life
You want your name in flashing lights
You wanna chase that shallow high
Oh, oh, oh
Tell me why
You wanna sell yourself a lie
Cause in the end you'll realize
It's gonna leave you cold and empty on the otherside
On the otherside
On the otherside
On the otherside
It's gonna leave you cold and empty on the otherside
