Lyrics
Make it Hollywood Kelly Pettit
Here I am standing on my own
Foolish words have left me all alone
Brand new day, a new way to pretend
That nothing came to an end
But wait till I close my eyes
Chorus
I swear I?d turn back time if I could
Make it Hollywood
I swear remorse has scarred my soul
And it?s taking its toll
And I,
I try to let go
There?s a pain that echoes in my head
A place and time where I still carry regret
Damage done, still licking all the wounds
Even after all we?ve been through, my past still wakes up in bed
Chorus
I swear I?d turn back time if I could
Make it Hollywood
I swear remorse has scarred my soul
And it?s taking its toll and I,
I try to let go
Bridge
In the corner of my mind I?m dying
No matter how often I?m sorry
I?d really like to let it slide
Get off this ride
And go
