[Instrumental] [Verse 1] She swears to never drink again Lying in her bed The bitter taste of champagne
That's when the sky is turning red She's on her feet again Waiting for the night train
She puts her fancy shiny dress For one more night of excess In her conception of success
The make up she puts on her eyes Is not hiding the fakeness And the emptiness inside
[Chorus] She pretends night after night That she's the queen of the spotlights She smiles, so bright But she will never feel alright In this loneliness fight
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 2] Lost in a plastic fairytale And the colors of the cocktails Are turning her pale as cocaine
Trapped in her golden chain She tries sometimes and fail To get away from this hell
The lipstick she puts on her mouth And the pills she has to swallow To escape from truths and sorrows
[Chorus] She pretends night after night That she's the queen of the spotlights She smiles, so bright But she will never feel alright In this loneliness fight
[Outro] She pretends ... (she pretends, she pretends) night after night She pretends ... (she pretends, she pretends) She pretends ...
