Limelight

Drowning in this bright white light I’m alone on this stage like every night Seeing all my fans screaming my name when I walk into the light All I see every night is a sea of flashing lights All they see is me hitting these low and high notes with ease I make it look so easy while I dance to this beat But when its late at night all I want to do escape Escape this never-ending dream where I can’t find peace Peace that would make me feel complete Because my fans don’t really know me All they see is me achieving a dream which is turning bittersweet Bittersweet because they will never see the real me So here I stand on this street corner all alone Thinking about running away from this fame That I once thought would make me feel complete
