Backstage

i sing my songs my star shines bright
i stop and smile i take my bow
i leave the stage and then somehow
chorus 1
backstage i'm lonely, backstage i cry
you've gone away and each night i seem to die a little
verse 2
out on that stage i play the star
i'm famous now i've come so far
a famous fool i let love go
i didn't know i'd miss you so
chorus 2
backstage i'm lonely, backstage i cry
hating myself since i let you say goodbye
bridge
every night a different room
every night a different club
and yet i'm lonely all the time
when i sign my autograph
when i hold an interview
can't get you out of my mind
verse 3
come back my love come back to me
i need you now so desperately
what good is fame it's just a game
i'd give it all to be the same
chorus 3/coda
backstage i wait now, hoping i'll see
your smiling face waiting there backstage for me
your smiling face waiting backstage for me
