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 You don't have to find me
