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…
