when there's nothing else - II (and likely finished as well)

I wrote off two verses during my lunch break using Google to check several expressions (just searched the phrases using quotes to see if they are used in the manner I put them down). Also did a little tweaking to align their meter. Unfortunately, they did'nt lead to the chorus convincingly. The reference to 'praying' in the chorus did not seem stringent. Therefore, I added a lift tonight, so the lyrics should flow nicely now. Here's the complete text:

they don't read your wishes from your lips
instead they make you go to school
they would not grant you every single wish
they make you feel just like a fool
although you dress up with so much care
and use to move quite daintily
they ignore your highbrow tastes
that you keep up assiduously

at night you pray for recognition
that you will be made a star
you know by intuition
that moment cannot be far

well,
hold on to your prayers
to your romantic dreams
hold on to your prayers
to your crazy schemes
when there's nothing else

he's turned out annoyingly mundane
like just some ordinary guy
his wishes just drive you insane
and his demands can make you cry
no he's no knight in shining armor
who would court you gallantly
there will be no graceful wedding
where you could dance exquisitely

at night you pray for recognition
that you will be made a star
you know by intuition
that that moment can't be far

well,
hold on to your prayers
to your romantic dreams
hold on to your prayers
to your crazy schemes
when there's nothing else

[maybe a solo?]

at night you pray for recognition
that you will be made a star
you know by intuition
that that moment can't be far

well,
hold on to your prayers
to your romantic dreams
hold on to your prayers
to your crazy schemes
when there's nothing else
