I've spent a long time in your daydream
Now you've become what you said you would never be
Your mind is focused on the game now
The money's taken all your shame now

But every inch still wants you
And with every dream, I'm taken back to you
You keep a low plot
It's such a shame now, I know

But I was there before the fame, love
I was there before the game, love
All you get now is their fake love, yeah
And I was there before you changed, love
I was there before the fame, love
All you get now is their fake love, oh

We danced before the noon was binding
They only wants you 'cause you're climbing
Your lonely place you know you can't be stand alone
Don't lose your winner, no love

No, they ain't seen this dark side of you
And they won't ever know you like I do
Don't underestimate the voice of your despair
'Cause they won't hear you, oh no

But I was there before the fame, love
I was there before the game, love
All you get now is their fake love, yeah
And I was there before you changed, love
I was there before the fame, love
All you get now is their fake love, oh

You twist your words 'round, so I saved your place
I can't bare the look, the look on your face
Like a turning tide, we both know you'll lose your mind
When you realize, babe

That I was there before the fame, love
I was there before the game, love
All you get now is their fake love, yeah
And I was there before you changed, love
I was there before the fame, love
All you get now is their fake love, oh

I was there before you changed, love
I was there before the fame, love
All you get now is their fake love, oh
