Lyrics
0:04Live the American dream with Billboards picturing me
0:10My name on Hollywood Boulevard
0:17Want it so much
0:18LA state of mind
0:21I'm never satisfied 'cause I want number one
0:29Doesn't everyone?
0:31Want it so much much
0:32So I was up late the other night
0:35Comparing myself to others' lives
0:37Scrolling up and down my phone
0:39What does she have that I don't?
0:40My dreams so big they're supersized
0:42I chase them like I chase the light
0:44I could live a simple life
0:46But that's the thing with the ambition
0:49Want it so much
0:50Everything's a competition
0:52So out of touch
0:54Yeah it got me a lot but that's not good enough
0:57I wanna be lo-lo-loved
1:01I live and learn the hard way
1:03Want it so much
1:05Yeah it's a chronic heartbreak
1:07So out of touch
1:09No it never stops I wanna be your star
1:12I wanna be lo-lo-loved
1:15Lo-loved
1:18Loved
1:19Lo-o-oved
1:24Raise on validation
1:28Consumed by aspiration
1:31Numbers meaning more than words
1:35But what's it worth?
1:37Can't help how I feel it's human nature
1:39Millions of people listening
1:41Soul-driven couldn't live in it
1:43Didn't appreciate it then
1:44Wish I could go back again
1:46My dreams so big they're supersized
1:48I chase them like I chase the light
1:50I could live a simple life
1:52But that's the thing with the ambition
1:55Want it so much
1:56Everything's a competition
1:58So out of touch
2:00Yeah it got me a lot but that's not good enough
2:03I wanna be lo-lo-loved
2:07I live and learn the hard way
2:09Want it so much
2:11Yeah it's a chronic heartbreak
2:13So out of touch
2:15No it never stops I wanna be your star
2:18I wanna be lo-lo-loved
2:22See I've been doing this long enough to be scarred
2:26From what I've learned before
2:30But that doesn't mean I wanna stop wanting more and more
2:37I try to push it away but at the end of the day
2:41It's the world to me
2:44I'll keep breaking my heart if I can be your star
2:47If I can be lo-lo-loved
2:53That's the thing with the ambition
2:55Want it so much
2:56Everything's a competition
2:58So out of touch
3:00Yeah it got me a lot but that's not good enough
3:04I wanna be lo-lo-loved
3:06I wanna be loved
3:08I live and learn the hard way
3:10Want it so much
3:11Yeah it's a chronic heartbreak
3:13So out of touch
3:15No it never stops I wanna be your star
3:18I wanna be lo-lo-loved
3:22Lo-loved
3:24Loved
3:26Lo-o-oved
