5 Minutes Of Fame Lyrics - Another Journal Entry - Barlowgirl

It was a common story, yeah who cares that I changed? 

Why are people freaking out? 

Maybe I gave in more than I should, maybe I sold out 

But the truth was I was really getting nowhere until I woke up and found 

That morals can't take you up to the top your standards pull you down 

Was it worth it what I gave away 

For five minutes of fame 

Minutes over no one knows my name 

Or my minute of fame 

I always said the thing that meant the most to me was my very integrity 

Who would have thought I'd ever trade it all for popularity 

'Cause the truth is though I've made it to the top I'm anything but satisfied 

I gave up the only thing that mattered for this empty life 

This time I'm saying no 

This world will know what I believe in 

I've lost enough to know 

That life's too short to waste it
