The Ambition Lyrics by Zara Larsson
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
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)
It got me a lot
But that’s not good enough
I wanna be love love loved
I live and learn the hard way
(I want it so much)
Still it’s a chronic heartbreak
(So out of touch)
No it never stops
I wanna be your star
I wanna be love love loved
Love love love love
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
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)
It’s got me a lot
But that’s not good enough
I wanna be love love loved
I live and learn the hard way
(I want it so much)
It’s a chronic heartbreak
(So out of touch)
No it never stops
I wanna be your star
Wanna be love love 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
That’s the thing with the ambition
(I want it so much)
Everything’s a competition
(So out of touch)
It’s Got me a lot
But that’s not good enough
I wanna be love love loved
I live and learn the hard way
(I want it so much)
It’s a chronic heartbreak
(So out of touch)
No it never stops
I wanna be your star
Wanna be love love loved
Love love love
