"A car wash and a new pair of pants" lyrics

Blinded by the fame and glory
Wanted to love me for what I gave to you
Hold it in your hands
See if you can take it
Get a car wash and a new pair of pants

Lie awake and still lie sleeping
Wanted to love me under a microscope
Told me I was different
Now I know you better
Or now I know you less than before

So you wanted the people to notice you
You wanted my name to be yours
But you hate that they're all saying something
Now that you are not mine anymore
You wanted the lights and the parties
You wanted my life to be yours
So she is the woman you've needed
Now that I am not you anymore

You were someone I was proud of
Now you're an actor bowing on a stage
People throw their roses
No one blinks an eye
But who will you be when they all walk away?

You wanted the people to notice you
You wanted my name to be yours
But you hate that they're all saying something
Now that you are not mine anymore
You wanted the lights and the parties
You wanted my life to be yours
So she is the woman you've needed
Now that I am not you anymore

I feel so used
Lied to, betrayed
Who was I with?
Where is his soul, his conscience?
Always tried to keep fame as your mistress
I just loved you

Blinded by the angel city
Wanted to love me long before we met
Hold it in your hands
See if you can take it
Get a car wash and a new pair of pants
Hold it in your hands
Watch your life get smaller
Get a car wash and a new pair of pants
