Why do you carry on this way?
As if the weight of the world
Is yours to bear
Why do you look so out of place?
As if I don't see you standing there
Behind every face
In every crowded room
From behind the stage
I'll be watching you
And when the curtains close
Why won't you notice me?
I loved you long before the show
From behind the scenes
You don't have to find me
I'm not the one hiding
Don't you know me at all?
Cause I'm not another lover
I'm not another friend
I'm on fire for you
I burn at both ends
Can't you see the sparks fly?
The crowd doesn't follow you home
And cheer you on when you go down
