She swears to never drink again
Lying in her bed
The bitter taste of champagne

That's when the sky is turning red
She's on her feet again
Waiting for the night train
She puts her fancy shiny dress
For one more night of excess
In her conception of success

The make up she puts on her eyes
Is not hiding the fakeness
And the emptiness inside

She pretends night after night
That she's the queen of the spotlights
She smiles, so bright
But she will never feel alright
In this loneliness fight

Lost in a plastic fairytale
And the colors of the cocktails
Are turning her pale as cocaine

Trapped in her golden chain
She tries sometimes and fail
To get away from this hell

The lipstick she puts on her mouth
And the pills she has to swallow
To escape from truths and sorrows

She pretends night after night
That she's the queen of the spotlights
She smiles, so bright
But she will never feel alright
In this loneliness fight

She pretends (she pretends, she pretends) night after night
She pretends (she pretends, she pretends)
She pretends
