  • It doesn't matter what you give
    It's never enough
    You can never have a bad day, girl
    'Cause that will be tough for me

    It doesn't matter what you say
    We'll never believe it
    So pour another whiskey, babe
    You look great

    She was only a woman
    Not fit to be a superstar
    She carried the burden
    A gift that'd cause a thousand scars

    She's walking down and failed
    To carry such a heavy load

    She walked in through darkness
    And we stood to watch her go

    Didn't see you fade away
    But that's the price you pay
    Singing through your hurt and pain
    Should have been another way

    Take it just a bit too late
    Don't believe it all, oh
    It was the price of fame

    So can I get a photograph
    Even though you don't want it
    I don't care if you got troubles, girl
    Just please don't be honest for me

    Can you be my laughingstock?
    Don't take it so personal
    Just pour another whiskey, babe
    You look great

    She was only a woman
    Not fit to be a superstar
    She carried the burden
    A gift that'd cause a thousand scars

    She's walking down and failed
    To carry such a heavy load

    She walked in through darkness
    And we stood to watch her go

    Didn't see you fade away
    But that's the price you pay
    Singing through your hurt and pain
    Should have been another way

    Take it just a bit too late
    Don't believe it all, oh
    It was the price of fame

    Oh oh oh, didn't see you fade away
    But that's the price you pay
    Singing through your hurt and pain
    Should have been another way

    Take it just a bit too late
    Don't believe it all, oh
    It was the price of fame

    Yeah no oh
    It was the price of fame
    Sing oh oh oh
    Price of fame
    It was the price of fame Writer/s: HOMER STEINWEISS, PALOMA FAITH, THOMAS R. BRENNECK
