The Magician

Curtain calls and I'm leaving town Ten years of them turning me down All I see are my wasted years Not even a spotlight for me to disappear Finish last, never first Everyone tells me to stop Miss Miscast, unrehearsed But I've got one last shot You were my tears when I couldn't cry You were my strength when I wanted to You were the unsung songs on an empty stage You were the unsaid words I can't raise from the dead And it's you I know I never saw a dream so clear The music in my heart My daddy said that I should follow my heart It's too hard to tell him I've been living in my car And this hurts, it's the worst Everyone tells me to stop No shelter for this songbird But you're still my rock You're still my rock You were my tears when I couldn't cry You were my strength when I wanted to You were the unsung songs on an empty stage You were the unsaid words I can't raise from the dead And it's you I know I never saw a dream so clear The music in my heart The silence is divine To you I come back home So afraid of going broke But more afraid to sell my soul Better drink my mother's soup Before it gets cold There'll be more music inside my heart Songs that no one will ever know That's just the way life goes You were my tears when I couldn't cry You were my strength when I wanted to You were the unsung songs on an empty stage You were the unsaid words I can't raise from the dead And it's you I know I never saw a dream so clear The music in my heart You were my tears when I couldn't cry You were my strength when I wanted to die Thanks to you, I'm still alive
