"The Ambition"

Live the American dream with billboards picturing me

My name on Hollywood Boulevard (I want it so much)

LA state of mind, I'm never satisfied

'Cause I want number one, doesn't everyone? (Want it so much, much)

So, I was up late the other night

Comparing myself to others' lives

Scrolling up and down my phone

What does she have that I don't

My dreams so big, they're supersize

I chase them like I chase the light

I could live a simple life

But that's the thing with the ambition (want it so much)

Everything's a competition (so out of touch)

Yeah, it got me a lot, but that's not good enough

I wanna be lo-lo-loved

I live and learn the hard way (want it so much)

Yeah, it's a chronic heartbreak (so out of touch)

No, it never stops, I wanna be your star

I wanna be lo-lo-loved

Lo-loved, loved, lo-ov-oved

Raised on validation

Consumed by aspiration

Numbers meaning more than words

But what's it worth? (What you gonna do? It's human nature)

Millions of people listening

So driven, couldn't live in it

Didn't appreciate it then

Wish I could go back again

My dreams so big, they're supersize

I chase them like I chase the light

I could live a simple life

But that's the thing with the ambition (want it so much)

Everything's a competition (so out of touch)

Yeah, it got me a lot, but that's not good enough

I wanna be lo-lo-loved

I live and learn the hard way (want it so much)

Yeah, it's a chronic heartbreak (so out of touch)

No, it never stops, I wanna be your star

I wanna be lo-lo-loved

See, I've been doing this long enough to be scarred from what I learned before

But that doesn't mean I wanna stop wanting more and more

I try to push it away, but at the end of the day

It's the world to me

I'll keep breaking my heart if I can be your star

If I can be lo-lo-loved

That's the thing with the ambition (want it so much)

Everything's a competition (so out of touch)

It got me a lot, but that's not good enough

I wanna be lo-lo-loved

I live and learn the hard way (want it so much)

Yeah, it's a chronic heartbreak (so out of touch)

No, it never stops, I wanna be your star

I wanna be lo-lo-loved

Lo-loved, loved, lo-ov-oved
