There are people living in the hills
With big houses and fancy cars
There are lots of people living there
The homes of the fallen stars
Once these people had it made
But now they get to see
What normal life is like
For people like you and me
They get to see the struggles
They never had to face
There's no one around
To step in and take their place
They are no longer in movies
They now live in reality
The everyday world
Is now what they get to see
The life that they live now
Is not a part in a movie
When they look in the mirror
Most don't like what they see
They never ever thought
They'd fall this far from grace
Now they look at themselves
They wish someone could take their place
They wonder how they lost it all
They are not sure what went wrong
They don't know if they can make it
They don't know if they are that strong
