golden boy

lyrics:

used to have it easy
never had to chase
now look at you
can't stay in one place
always got the attention
never had to try
now you're checking your phone
every five minutes asking why
what's it like on the other side?

golden boy ain't shining
not so bright anymore
golden boy's been trying
never had to before
what's it like to want something
that don't want you back?
golden boy's been falling
and we're watching that

used to play it cool
had your pick of anyone
now you're stuck on one
and you're coming undone
posting for attention
hoping they'll see
never thought you'd be the one
down on your knees
welcome to the rest of us

golden boy ain't shining
not so bright anymore
golden boy's been trying
never had to before
what's it like to want something
that don't want you back?
golden boy's been falling
and we're watching that

it's funny til it's not
we've all been there
wanting someone
who don't care
but you made it look so easy
for so long
now you're just like us
and it feels wrong

golden boy ain't golden
when you're wanting like the rest
golden boy's been broken
just like all of us
what's it like to need someone?
welcome to the club
golden boy's been humbled
and it's fucking rough

golden
not so golden now
