After the show You walked right past Arms reached out For your autograph And as you flashed Your backstage pass I caught your eye With a camera's flash When the band came out They stood behind you Cymbals crashed The lights went blue You stood alone In the halo's haze Shining guitar hung on Gold lamé And you You were the lonely one You were The lonely one When you perform It's so intense When the critics pan I write in your defense I understand I am just a fan I'm just a fan When I get home I turn off the alarm I've checked the phone No messages on I play the ones from yesterday I play your song Just to hear you say that you You're the lonely one You are The lonely one You You're the lonely one
