BarlowGirl - 5 Minutes of Fame lyrics

It was a common story
Yeah who cares that I changed?
Why are people freaking out?
Maybe I gave in more than I should
Maybe I sold out
But the truth was I was really getting
Nowhere until I woke up and found
That morals can't take you up to the
Top your standards pull you down

Was it worth it what I gave away
For five minutes of fame
Minutes over no one knows my name
Or my minute of fame

I always said the thing that meant the
Most to me was my very integrity
Who would have thought I'd ever
Trade it all for popularity
'Cause the truth is though I've made it
To the top I'm anything but satisfied
I gave up the only thing that
Mattered for this empty life

Was it worth it what I gave away
For five minutes of fame
Minutes over no one knows my name
Or my minute of fame

This time I'm saying no
This world will know what I believe in
I've lost enough to know
That life's too short to waste it
Or my minute of fame

Was it worth it what I gave away
For five minutes of fame 1, 2, 3, 4, 5!
Minutes over no one knows my name
Or my minute of fame
