Lyrics

Boy meets a girl

Introduction of a boy meeting a girl

Hid behind a wall

Metaphorical barrier or emotional protection

Piling up the bricks

Building emotional defenses

Hoping they would fall

Hoping those defenses would collapse


Girl meets a boy

Introduction of a girl meeting a boy

Surrenders to his charms

Yielding to the boy's allure

Leaves her old boyfriend and crumbles in his arms

Leaving her past relationship for the new one


And if they wanna make me pay now

Accepting consequences if there's a price to pay

Then go on

Encouragement to face repercussions

Cause loving you was never wrong

Asserting that loving the person was never wrong


Here is my life in the spotlight, spotlight

Exposing life to public scrutiny

And it's hurting my eyes

Feeling discomfort in the spotlight's glare

'Cause it's so bright (so bright)

Intensity of discomfort due to brightness

But you are the thing I was missing and I couldn't find

Emphasizing the person's significance

And I wouldn't give you up even if I ended blind

Commitment to the person, despite challenges


Lazy for a while

Temporary idleness or lack of effort

Laying golden eggs

Metaphor for producing valuable things

Some just want your money or whatever they can take

Warning about people with ulterior motives


But hearing your name

Significance of hearing the person's name

Don't need anyone else

Independence from others due to the person's presence

You're here because you want me

Confirmation of genuine interest

And not for what I make

Being valued for oneself, not possessions


Hey, they better know

Asserting others should be aware of consequences

If there is a price to pay now, the game is on

Acknowledging potential costs in the situation

Cause in the end you know I won

Confidence in overcoming challenges


Here is my life in the spotlight, spotlight

Reiteration of life under public scrutiny

And it's hurting my eyes

Discomfort and pain caused by the spotlight

'Cause it's so bright (so bright)

Intensity of discomfort due to brightness

But you are the thing I was missing and I couldn't find

Reaffirming the person's importance

And I wouldn't give you up even if I ended blind

Commitment despite potential difficulties


And every camera flash my way

Attention and scrutiny from media

And every word of every page

Media coverage and publicized information

Well they can say whatever they want to

Indifference to external opinions due to genuine connection

Cause what we got is just so real

Emphasis on the authenticity of the relationship

That they can't feel the way I feel

Incomprehension of true emotions by outsiders

'Cause I would do it all again for you

Willingness to undergo experiences for the person


Here is my life in the spotlight, spotlight

Reiteration of life under public scrutiny

And it's hurting my eyes

Discomfort and pain caused by the spotlight

'Cause it's so bright (so bright)

Intensity of discomfort due to brightness

But you are the thing I was missing and I couldn't find

Reaffirmation of the person's importance

And I wouldn't give you up even if I ended blind

Commitment despite potential difficulties


Here is my life in the spotlight, spotlight

Reiteration of life under public scrutiny

And it's hurting my eyes

Discomfort and pain caused by the spotlight

'Cause it's so bright (so bright)

Intensity of discomfort due to brightness

But you are the thing I was missing and I couldn't find

Reaffirmation of the person's importance

And I wouldn't give you up even if I ended blind

Commitment despite potential difficulties
