Strutting down the catwalk, I'm lost in the light
Tears in my eyes, they blur my sight
Fake smiles all around pretending to care
I wear this mask, but inside there's despair

They're all around me, these whispers and smirks
Fake happiness hurts, it's a cruel kind of work
Behind the scenes where shadows all play
The truth gets crushed by things they won't say

Walking this runway with tears in my eyes
Fake people surround me with plastic disguise
Torn between laughter and cries, I won't show
Caught in the lies, but you’ll never know

Walking this runway with tears in my eyes

(Fake people)
The fame hurts
(Fake people)
The fame hurts
(Fake people)
The fame hurts

Feathers and sequins, they hide all my fears
Rushed and rehearsed through ongoing years
This glamorous charade it's breaking my heart
Pretending I'm fine while falling apart

Each step feels heavy, every pose is a lie
The glitz and the glamour make me wanna cry
Under the spotlight, feeling so hollow
In a world so shallow, there's no comfort to follow

Walking this runway with tears in my eyes
Fake people surround me with plastic disguise
Torn between laughter and cries, I won't show
Caught in the lies, but you’ll never know

Walking this runway with tears in my eyes

(Fake people)
The fame hurts
(Fake people)
The fame hurts
(Fake people)
The fame hurts
