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

Shinny guitar hung on gold lamay

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'm 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 you're song just to hear you say that

You  you're the lonely one

You are the lonely one

You  you're the lonely one

You are the lonely one
