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
