Golden lights displaying your name 
Golden lights it's a terrible shame 
But oh my darling 
Why did you change? 

Boy in a million, idol, a big star 
I didn't tell you how great you were 
I didn't grovel and scream 
And rip your brand new jacket at the seams 

You made a record, they liked your singing 
All of a sudden the phone stops ringing 
Ah ... I never thought that you would let 
The glory make you forget 

Golden lights displaying your name 
Golden lights it's a terrible shame 
But oh my darling 
Why did you change? 

Top ten idol, king of your age 
Who do you turn to when you're backstage? 
Don't you remember you once knew a girl 
You loved her more than the world 

Is life always like this, brother? 
Good for one side but bad for another 
I must put you behind me tonight 
'Cause you belong to the lights 

Those golden lights displaying your name 
Golden lights it's a terrible shame 
But oh my darling 
Why did you change? 

Oh, oh my darling 
Why? 
Why did you change? 

Oh...
