You know you're in trouble
When the spotlight is on you
When nothing can be trusted
And you don't know what to do
Hold on to yourself
You're just someone like me
And you're slowly becoming
What you're pretending to be
I've been meaning to sing you the song
I've been meaning to sing you the song for so long
And to all you good people
That were lost along the way
I have need for your smiles
And friendship today
All those magical nights
When our aim seemed so true
You of all must know the reason
I still feel like I do
I've been meaning to sing you the song
I've been meaning to sing you the song for so long
I must take to the stage
I need nerves of steel
No matter how weak
And how weightless I feel
I just wanted to come across strong
Who, really, who was I trying to fool
