  • These clouds around you break your fall
    As you came crashing to the ground
    Did you learn anything at all
    You climb back up to come back down

    Everybody knows your name
    But they don't know who you are
    But to them it's just the same
    Yeah you're just another name

    She said fame will bring you down
    At least that's what she used to say
    Then they handed her another crown
    She said it would never be this way

    Everybody knows your name
    But they don't know who you are
    But to them it's just the same
    Yeah you're just another name
    La da da da da just another name

    Yesterday she was a little girl
    Pretending she was queen
    Didn't know it'd change the world
    Didn't know what this should mean

    Which mask will you wear today
    How about the one with the pretty smile
    To you it's just another day
    In a life you haven't lived in quite awhile

    Everybody knows your name
    But they don't know who you are
    But to them it's just a game
    And I think it's gone too far

    Everybody knows your name
    But they don't know who you are
    You've got the most familiar face
    But your just another name
    La da da da da just another name
    La da da da da just another name Writer/s: JASON WADE
