Memorizing city lights of all the places I have been
Nothing like adrenaline eyes, but coming down almost kills me
Love the places, know the faces, but the names are all a blur
It's hard to hold on when you forget where you are and where you were
Everybody wants to live their life in the spotlight
One day at a time, I just want to live for tonight
Standing here with you, I don't want you to see that I'm terrified
Is this what you expected? Can't you see it's all smoke and lights?
I know it's getting late but please don't go
there is still so much more of the show
I know there'll be a thousand more goodbyes
Before they dim the lights
I've realized that all I've wanted is right here in front of me
I said that to you; you laughed, but it was something that I do believe in
Keep your distance when it's over, I'm afraid you've stolen part of me
Everybody wants to live their life in the spotlight
One day at a time, I just want to live for tonight
Standing here with you, I don't want you to see that I'm terrified
Is this what you expected? Can't you see it's all smoke and lights?
I know it's getting late but please don't go
There is still so much more of the show
I hope there'll be a thousand more goodbyes
Before they dim the lights
This path will soon be ending
And will you stay with me?
It's only us left standing; will I find it hard to breathe?
And it has not been easy when I'm lost and in my mind
Separate worlds divided; my mind's been there all the time
City lights flash by me
And I don't know where I am
Before tonight they'll love me
But when I'm gone they'll just forget
You know me better than all this
You've seen me on the edge of a world that tried to leave me with an open wound again
My heart; you'll want to stay forever
All this just so I can live forever
Immortalized; forever here
In time, you'll understand
