| When the lights go out, and the show is over
|
| When the crowd has gone, and you know you’re sober
|
| You put trust in all those people
|
| Who convinced you it was right
|
| And while you can’t, you know the boss will sleep tonight
|
| I took time, there were things you won’t believe
|
| But there’s warmth within this winter
|
| There were harsher times than these
|
| A stranger told me I would find the light that’s in the dark
|
| Now a stranger’s words I hold close to my heart
|
| Label you, then leave you
|
| No, they won’t stay for the fight
|
| It’s the closest thing to empty
|
| And the furthest from the light
|
| I got what I asked for, now I’m lonely and I’m tired
|
| I am hurt, and even worse, I’m uninspired
|
| Always felt the rush, by the shows with empty rows
|
| Your transport in transit, and you pray for radio
|
| You’ve a name that no one cares for
|
| And a face that no one knows
|
| You take that path 'cause it’s the only route you know
|
| Label you, then leave you
|
| No, they won’t stay for the fight
|
| It’s the closest thing to empty
|
| And the furthest from the light
|
| I used to be an artist, now I’m nothing I desire
|
| I am hurt, and even worse, I’m uninspired
|
| Curtains close and roses hit the stage
|
| I forget the pain each time I hear you shout my name
|
| You’re my favourite memories and I thank you no end
|
| You’re my reason, you’re my life and you’re my friends
|
| Label you, then leave you
|
| No, they won’t stay for the fight
|
| It’s the closest thing to empty
|
| And the furthest from the light
|
| I used to be a person that I loved and I admired
|
| I am hurt, and even worse, I’m uninspired
|
| Now I’m hurt and even worse, I’m uninspired |
