[Verse 1]
After the show, you walked right past
Arms reached out for your autograph
And as you flashed your backstage pa**
I caught your eye with a camera's flash
When 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
[Chorus]
And you, you were the lonely one
You were the lonely one
[Verse 2]
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 check the phone, no messages on
I play the ones from yesterday
I play your song just to hear you say that
[Chorus]
You, you're the lonely one
You are the lonely one
