la la land

why can’t you want me like the other boys do?
they stare at me while i stare at you
why can’t i keep you safe as my own?
one moment i have you the next you are gone
rehearsed steps on an empty stage
that boy’s got my heart in a silver cage
why can’t you want me like the other boys do?
they stare at me while i crave you

i walked into the room dripping in gold
yeah dripping in gold
i walked into the room dripping in gold
dripping in gold
a wave of heads did turn, or so i’ve been told
or so i’ve been told
my heart broke when i saw you kept your gaze controlled
oh i cannot solve
