(intro over verse) x2 
After the show you walked right past. 
Arms reached out for your autograph. 
And as you flashed your backstage pass. 
I caught your eye with a camera's flash.

(intro over verse) x2 
The band came out they stood behind you. 
Cymbals crashed, the lights went blue. 
You stood alone in the halo's haze. 
Shinny guitar hung on gold lamay.

And you, you were the lonely one.

(intro over verse) x4 
When you perform it's so intense. 
When the critics pan I write in your defense. 
I understand I'm just a fan, I'm just a fan. 
When I get home I turn off the alarm. 
I've checked the phone, no messages on. 
I play the ones from yesterday. 
I play you're song just to hear you say that
