Center Stage Lyrics

All eyes on me, I need the show

Without your gaze, I start to lose control

I live for the spotlight, I crave the applause

But when it fades, I question who I was

I paint on a smile, make the colors bright

But the truth is hidden deep in the night

I give you the drama, the passion, the heat

But when I'm alone, I feel incomplete

I'll wear the smile, I'll play the part

But deep inside, I'm falling apart

I need to be seen, I need to be heard

Without your love, I'm just a whispered word

I shout so loud, but no one knows

Behind the curtain, my weakness grows

Put me on the center stage

I can't survive if I'm locked in a cage

I'll dance and I'll shine, I'll do what it takes

But behind the mask, my heart still breaks

I need your eyes, I need your praise

Without it all, I'll fade away

In this act, I'm never whole

Just chasing love to fill the hole

I tell my stories, I exaggerate

Make it bigger, brighter—don't hesitate

I'm the queen of the night, I sparkle, I glow

But it's a façade, just a show

I cry too loud, I laugh too long

But when no one's watching, I feel so wrong

I perform for the crowd, I wear my disguise

But I'm terrified you'll see through my lies

Put me on the center stage

I can't survive if I'm locked in a cage

I'll dance and I'll shine, I'll do what it takes

But behind the mask, my heart still breaks

I need your eyes, I need your praise

Without it all, I'll fade away

In this act, I'm never whole

Just chasing love to fill the hole

I scream for the spotlight, I beg for your gaze

Without your attention, I'm lost in the haze

I live for the thrill, but I fear the end

I'm loud and I'm wild, but it's all a disguise

Beneath the drama, I'm fragile inside

I act out the scenes, but I'm scared of the dark

Afraid that one day, I'll lose my spark

Put me on the center stage

I can't survive if I'm locked in a cage

I'll dance and I'll shine, I'll do what it takes

But behind the mask, my heart still breaks

I need your eyes, I need your praise

Without it all, I'll fade away

In this act, I'm never whole

Just chasing love to fill the hole

I'm searching for meaning in every glance

I'll twist and turn just to take a chance

I live for applause, but I fear the day

When you'll turn your back and walk away

What happens then, when the stage is bare

Will anyone notice, will anyone care

I've built my world on borrowed light

But I'm terrified of the endless night

Put me on the center stage

I can't survive if I'm locked in a cage

I'll dance and I'll shine, I'll do what it takes

But behind the mask, my heart still breaks

I need your eyes, I need your praise

Without it all, I'll fade away

In this act, I'm never whole

Just chasing love to fill the hole

I need the stage, I need the light

Without it, I fade into the night

The curtain falls, and so do I

Caught in the shadows of my own lie
