5 Minutes Of Fame - Barlow Girl

It was a common story, yeah who cares that I changed? 
Why are people freaking out? 
Maybe I gave in more than I should, maybe I sold out 
But the truth was I was really getting nowhere until I woke up and found 
That morals can't take you up to the top your standards pull you down 

[Chorus:]
Was it worth it what I gave away 
For five minutes of fame 
Minutes over no one knows my name 
I always said the thing that meant the most to me was my very integrity 
Who would have thought I'd ever trade it all for popularity 
'Cause the truth is though I've made it to the top I'm anything but satisfied 
I gave up the only thing that mattered for this empty life 

This time I'm saying no 
This world will know what I believe in 
I've lost enough to know 
That life's too short to waste it 
Or my minute of fame
