Hollywood

I’m sure I’ve lost myself

I’ve searched on every shelf

When I was younger all I saw

Were opportunities and doors

That opened to horizons stretching far

I’ve let her get the best of me

Comparison and jealousy

I’ve worked for years to try be seen

Now there is no place for me

It’s not enough to be just who you are

No, there’s no winning

I’m right at the beginning

And the climb is far too high

she’s already done it twice

The system’s in her favor

Oh it’s Hollywood that made her

And I tried to get up and dance

But I never stood a chance

Oh I tried to get up and dance

But I never had a chance

Perfectionism is a curse for real

Unreasonable hard, to deal with

I used to picture silver screens

Hear myself in everything

But lately my self talk’s been sorta mean

No, there’s no winning

I’m right at the beginning

And the climb is far too high

she’s already done it twice

The system’s in her favor

Oh it’s Hollywood that made her

And I tried to get up and dance

But I never stood a chance

Oh I tried to get up and dance

But I never

Oh no there’s no denying

Can’t blame a girl for trying

Oh no there’s no denying

Can’t blame a girl

Oh there’s no winning

I’m right at the beginning…
