I'm singing songs nearly every night
But I don't know who's listening
Cause you're down in dark
And I'm up here in light
And only now and then
I see a face of you

But what's going on behind your face
Why did you come to this place
Is it really music
Or is it something else
Sometimes I can read it from your eyes

Cause sometimes when your with me
I can feel reflections of your souls
Then I'm with you and I know
All I'm doing is just feeling so good

And when the show is over
I'm like everyone
I pack up my guitar
And maybe I'm satisfied
With what I've done

Oh, it's not easy all the time
When you're standing on your side
And I'm on mine

Maybe you want me to act like a star
But just this night
I've got a completely empty heart

Lost is every word in my song
When you see my bowed head
And you think my place is wrong

Cause though you're strong
And sometimes wise
You're getting angry
When your clown is crying

I know that we all need a push to live on
But you have to live your life
And I live it in my song

And if you need somebody to help
So don't look at me
Cause I need help myself

And when the show is over
I'm like everyone
I pack up my guitar
And maybe I'm satisfied
With what I've done
