Watch children cry
The pageant sells a lie
Third place isn’t winning, you know
Neither is first
The pressure and the thirst
For this skeleton’s show

I am so thin-skinned
Don’t scratch the surface
Please let me live within
Within this circus

[Chorus: Sia]
Little dreams come crashing
Let them wave in passing
‘Cause fame won’t love you like a mother, like a father should
And you may wish for Oscars
Grammys and blockbusters
‘Cause fame won’t love you like a brother, like a lovеr should
