Drowned World/Substitute for Love (BT & Sasha’s Ashram Remix) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I traded fame for love
Without a second thought
It all became a silly game
Some things cannot be bought
I got exactly what I asked for
Wanted it so badly
Running, rushing back for more
I suffered fools so gladly
And now, I find
I've changed my mind

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Mmm, ooh, mmm
Famous faces, far off places
Trinkets I can buy
No handsome stranger, heady danger
Drug that I can try
No Ferris wheel, no heart to steal
No laughter in the dark
No one-night stand, no far-off land
No fire that I can spark

[Chorus]
The face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Mmmm
Should I wait for you?
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Mmmm
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
The facе of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for lovе
Mmmm
Should I wait for you?
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Mmmm

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
