Cover

[Verse]
Flash of light, the cameras call
Magazine dreams climb every wall
Chasing scenes of polished chrome
Plastic smiles, a perfect tone
High heels clicking down the street
Glossy lips and hearts that beat
For the pages that we crave
In this glitter, we behave

[Pre-Chorus]
We’re dancing in the shallow
We’re glowing but it’s hollow
Every shot is a mask we hide
But tell me who you really are inside

[Chorus]
We want the cover, want the fame
We want to live in the spotlight and play this game
Every moment and every pose
Trading truth for what others choose

We want the cover and want it now
But behind the gloss, we don’t know how
We can be real, we can be free
In a world made for the cover, I want to stay true to me

[Verse 2]
Paparazzi in the night
Chasing stories, chasing fights
Whispers follow where we go
Secrets lost in studio glow
Chasing trends we didn’t choose
Wearing things we can’t refuse
Like and share, we fade away
Priced emotions, day by day

[Pre-Chorus]
We’re dancing in the shallow
We’re glowing but it’s hollow
Every shot is a mask we hide
But tell me who you really are inside

[Chorus]
We want the cover, want the fame
We want to live in the spotlight and play this game
Every moment and every pose
Trading truth for what others choose

We want the cover and want it now
But behind the gloss, we don’t know how
We can be real, we can be free
In a world made for the cover, I want to stay true to me

[Bridge]
Mirror, mirror, who’s the real?
Broken dreams we try to seal
Smile for the world, hide the cracks
Can we ever take it back?

[Chorus]
We want the cover, want the fame
We want to live in the spotlight and play this game
Every moment and every pose
Trading truth for what others choose

We want the cover and want it now
But behind the gloss, we don’t know how
We can be real, we can be free
In a world made for the cover, I want to stay true to me
