I traded fame for love

Without a second thought

It all became a silly game

Some things cannot be bought

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



The face of you

Substitute for love

Substitute for love

Should i wait for you?

Substitute for love

Substitute for love



I traveled round the world

Looking for a home

I found myself in crowded rooms

Feeling so alone

Had so many lovers

Who settled for the thrill

Of basking in my spotlight

I never felt

So happy



The face of you

Substitute for love

Substitute for love

Should i wait for you?

Substitute for love

Substitute for love



No 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



The face of you

Substitute for love

Substitute for love

Should i wait for you?

Substitute for love

Substitute for love



No 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



The face of you

Substitute for love

Substitute for love

Should i wait for you?

Substitute for love

Substitute for love



This is my religion
