After the Show

Where did you go? I can't see you

Hiding behind your charade was it hard to

See that I would carry your weight

When the road was too dark to navigate, love

Heard me crying in the bathroom

Lay there dreaming didn't you, well didn't you know

All I needed was my best friend

To come back from wherever he'd go

Babe when we ran through the halls of hotels

And the love that we made was a love hotter than hell

And your arms were my blanket at night

The touch of your lips was my paradise

All of this time I should have stuck up for myself

It's a crime, was so bad for my mental health

I remember you asking what did I expect

All I needed was a little of your respect

Babe there were times I felt lonely

Lying next to you at night, that wasn't right, no

Should have let go of your ego

Turned to see the girl you loved when we first met

Babe when we ran through the halls of hotels

And the love that we made was a love hotter than hell

And your arms were my blanket at night

The touch of your lips was my paradise

All of this time I should have stuck up for myself

It's a crime, was so bad for my mental health

I remember you asking what did I expect

All I needed was a little of your respect

I was still there hiding somewhere

Beneath my anxiety forgot to breathe

It was so hard just to let you know

Caught up in your adrenaline after the show

Babe it's a shame that the game went the way it did

I've loved you forever both you and your kid

I'd have remained faithful even in your old age

Long after the last time that you leave the stage

Cause I loved you for everything, all that you are

The man sat at home, the lonely superstar

All I wanted was time with your soul, skin to skin

My best friend, lover, my companion

I remember you asking what did I expect

All I needed was a little of your respect
