Material World Lyrics

She wore diamonds hopped in fast cars

Chasing dreams so close yet far

Loved herself more than the stars

A shining soul wrapped in scars

Eyes on riches never on me

Blinded by what she could see

Took her high above the sea

But her heart was never free

Up in the sky with gold in her eyes

Sweet whispers turned into lies

Looking down from cloud nine

Fell back to earth in no time

She stepped out of shadows, chasing after gold,

Told herself it was the only dream she'd hold.

Money in her pockets, but the warmth was cold,

Found herself alone, just stories to be told.

Met a man who saw beyond the shine,

But she was too deep, lost in her climb.

He offered love, a hand to hold tight,

But she couldn't see it in the night.

She thought the diamonds could heal her scars,

But they only left her gazing at the stars.

She missed the love that was right there,

Focused on the riches, unaware.

Now she looks back, the memories sting,

Realizing too late, she had everything.

She loved mirrors more than the truth

Traded love for glittered youth

Forgot the beauty of what was real

Couldn't understand how it feels

Material world has no soul

Chasing sparkle takes a toll

Empty heart can't be whole

Falling back might be her role

Up in the sky with gold in her eyes

Sweet whispers turned into lies

Looking down from cloud nine

Fell back to earth in no time
