Take a break from being you
Wear a face that isn't true to who you are
Driving in your car down Sunset Boulevard
The marquee reads your name
And you don't know him any more than they all seem to claim
Don't stop smiling
Don't stop singing
Please stop dreaming
All you've wanted
Lives inside the past
So much for the dream
So much for the dream
Mm-mm
So much for the dream
So much for the dream
Hungry eyes
A fearless effort
Your back and neck hurt
Just keep smiling
Just keep singing till it's done
Mm-mm
So much for the dream
So much for the dream
Ah, ah
So much for the dream
So much for the dream
Take a break from being you
Wear a face that isn't true to who you are
Just one of many stars
Given so much for the dream
