The Ambition

作曲 : Zara Larsson/Helena Gao/Uzoechi Osisioma Emenike/Margo Wildman

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?

I want it so much, much

So

I was up late the other night

Compared myself to others, like

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

I 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 loved, loved, loved

I live and learn the hard way

I 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 loved, loved, loved

Loved, loved, loved, loved

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

I 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 loved, loved, loved

I live and learn the hard way

I 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 loved, loved, 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’ve tried 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 loved, loved, loved

That’s the thing with the ambition

I want it so much

Everything’s a competition

So out of touch

It got me a lot

But it's not good enough

I wanna be loved, loved, loved

I live and learn the hard way

I want it so much

And it's a chronic heartbreak

So out of touch

No, it never stops

I wanna be your star

I wanna be loved, loved, loved

Loved, loved, loved
