On the big screen
on the stage or in the news
scripted like a well shot scene
I am the man
nobody can fill my shoes
walking my walk like I can.
I get so tired
living up to history
it’s difficult but it’s required
nobody knows
that there used to be a boy
tripping over his own toes.
So many co-stars come
so many lovers leave
people believing only
what they want to believe
plenty of parties to attend
plenty of friends to forget
everyone but you to deceive.
You have been here
year after year honest and true
no matter what or who disappears
the more I play
the more you do what you do
staying home where I cannot stay.
