Backstage

A thousand hands
Applaud tonight
I sing my songs
My star shines bright

I stop and smile
I take my bow
I leave the stage
And then, somehow

Backstage
I'm lonely
Backstage, I cry
You've gone away and each night I seem to die a little

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

Backstage
I'm lonely
Backstage, I cry
Hating myself since I let you say
Goodbye

Every night a different girl
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

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

Backstage
I'll wait now hoping I'll see
Your smiling face waiting there backstage for me
Your smiling face
Waiting backstage for me
Backstage
Backstage
Please come back
Please
Please come back
