An Ordinary Life Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What makes you different from anyone in here?
What makes you stand out from the crowd?
What makes your mother so proud of you?
What makes us worship at your ground?

[Pre-Chorus]
At night when you go to bed
Do these thoughts run through your head?
When you're lying there all alone
Do you think of us instead?

[Chorus 1]
I don't know where I'll be
In ten years time
I want to be free
I don't care about the cameras
I don't care about the lights
All I wanted was an ordinary life

[Verse 2]
What makes you happy? What makes you sad?
Do paparazzi drive you mad?
Do you miss your life back home?
Were they the best days that you had?
[Chorus 2]
I don't know where I'll be
In ten years time
I want to be free
I don't care about the cameras
I don't care about the lights
All I wanted was an ordinary life

I don't know where I'll be
In ten years time
Where will the music take me?
I don't care about the spotlight
I don't care about the nights
All I wanted was an ordinary life

[Outro]
I don't know where I'll be
In ten years time
Where will the music take me?
I don't care about the spotlight
Or the Hollywood nights
All I wanted was an ordinary life
