This life gets harder day by day
It seems like everyone wants more
I try to compensate in other ways
I try but I just can´t ignore

That the rent is due
I see tears in her eyes
It´s not Hollywood
Just the best we could find

This expectation´s Kryptonite
It tries to steal my joi de vivre
All this pressure building day and night
Sometimes I wish that I could leave

But the rent is due
I see tears in her eyes
It´s not Hollywood
Just the best we could find
And there´s bills to pay
Come now baby don´t cry
It´s not Hollywood
Just the best we could find

Tell me you understand
And tell me we´ll be alright
Tell me we´ve got a plan
It´s hard to keep going on
It´s hard to keep being strong
When this is not the way it was meant to be
This is not where I had hoped to be

On my knees I´m on my knees
On my knees I´m on my knees

Yeah the rent is due
(On my knees I´m)
I see tears in her eyes
(On my knees I´m)
It´s not Hollywood
(On my knees I´m)
Just the best we could find
(On my knees I´m)
And no second take
(On my knees I´m)
No way to rewind
It´s not Hollywood
Just the best we could find
It´s not Hollywood
Just the best we could find.
