I traded fame for love
Without a second thought
It all became a silly game
Some things cannot be bought
Got exactly what I asked for
Wanted it so badly
Running, rushing back for more
I suffered fools so gladly
And now I find
I've changed my mind

The face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you?
My substitute for love
My substitute for love

I traveled round the world
Looking for a home
I found myself in crowded rooms
Feeling so alone
Had so many lovers
Who settled for the thrill
Of basking in my spotlight
I never felt
So happy

The face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you?
My substitute for love
My substitute for love

No famous faces, far off places
Trinkets I can buy
No handsome stranger, heady danger
Drug that I can try
No Ferris wheel, no heart to steal
No laughter in the dark
No one night stand, no far off land
No fire that I can spark

The face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you?
My substitute for love
My substitute for love

No famous faces, far off places
Trinkets I can buy
No handsome stranger, heady danger
Drug that I can try
No Ferris wheel, no heart to steal
No laughter in the dark
No one night stand, no far off land
No fire that I can spark

The face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you?
My substitute for love
My substitute for love

This is my religion.
